So, when DD (right-handed batter) was first taught to bunt, she was told that she should hold the bat with her thumb and forefinger and the rest of her fingers should be protected behind the bat.
But when she played all-stars last year, her coach told her to wrap her top hand around the bat (fingers facing the pitcher) because she'd have more control. And I've noticed that most other coaches in DD's league teach the same hand position.
So what is the correct hand position? Does the age matter? DD is 10U so the girls' hands are generally pretty small, though DD has always had giant hands so it's easier for her to pinch the bat than it is for a lot of other girls.
