bunt attempt head scratcher??

[shipwreck]

I just brought this scenario up since this particular discussion came up Sunday afternoon of a big tourney I was working. After thinking about it I was thinking, if the batter just holds the bat out over the plate looking like they were going to bunt, and doesn't pull it back, and the pitch comes in out of the strike zone we don't call a strike since she didn't offer at it so logically you would think it would be the same if the bat was held stationary out of the strike zone it wouldn't be a bunt attempt.
