Bunting (2.00)

[changeup]

Hi guys

Somebody here in Switzerland is saying that under rule (2.00) you do NOT have to pull the bat back on a bunt attempt in order to get a ball.

In other words, you can square, bring the bat the the plate, waiting to bunt, your bat in the strikezone. If the ball misses the strikezone, let's say its too low, and you do not move, you are granted a ball, since you "didn't go after the ball".

I have never ever seen this in any game on this planet. You bunt, you leave the bat where it is and try to bunt it. You see it's a ball, you pull the bat back. That's how I've seen it. You don't pull back, you get a strike, even if you didn't go after the ball and the ball missed the zone.

Any information on this? Does this guy mis-understand that rule? Or is he right?
