When Bunting – Pulling the Bat Back or Not
I have had this come up in the SBR Squirt Final and again last night and would like clarification (and to put this out there for those with hardball/baseball background). The Okotoks coach in the U16 game told me that they were told that you have to bring the bat back when NOT intending to offer at a pitch - when bunting. To my knowledge - the bat can stay across the zone and as long as it does NOT MOVE - it can be and should be called a ball (which is softball specific) for a ball out of the strike zone. Please clarify.
