Do you know where the team was from? The description fits a girl from my area who does this from time to time. I want to say she plays at 16U level, but that's a guess. She has blond hair and I think she also bats from the right side on occasion. I haven't seen her put a ball in play yet doing that but did have a couple of fouls.

The team is out of the Phoenix metro area. I had people talk about something like this years ago, but this is the first I had actually seen it in person.

If I remember correctly, some people refer to it as the California drag bunt.

I would love to see a video of this just to see if what I'm picturing in my head is right.

You say she drops her left hand and swings the bat round her back, then takes it again and drag bunts. Wouldn't that mean the ball is being hit with the bat upside down and she's holding the barrell??
