Form and Placement Drill

This drill focuses on two aspects of bunting,your form and your placement.Muscle memory plays a large role in this drill.You continuously place your self in bunt position with a wide base and tension is placed on your quads and hamstrings.Also within this drill your arms are flexed anteriorly when the bunt is being put down.Muscle memory is the key purpose of this drill  and it should be repeated over and over to gain a positive improvement in your bunting form and skills.

Step 1

First of you want to set up the drill by placing two items down the third baseline about 10 to 15 feet.Place one object on the line and the other 5 feet off the line towards the mound.This will allow the ideal space between the objects in which you should place the bunt for it to be a "good" bunt.This drill is designed to work on bat angle and ball speed and positioning of the bunt.

Step 2

Get your body in the bunting position as shown in Phase 3.From this position you must be able to get the bunt down .Most importantly during this drill is your bat angle.In this drill the main focus is to angle the bat  head towards the third base line.The ball should be tossed at average speed from about 10 feet away during this drill to allow it to be as game like as possible.
