Bunt Foul with 2 strikes

[mikfish711]

How is it scored when a batter bunts foul and is out with 2 strikes? Is it a strikeout for the pitcher?

yes it is a K

In GameChanger, if you mark it as a foul bunt it will automatically count it as a strikeout.

And, since it's a strike out, the catcher gets credited with the put out.

From what I have seen, most of the time when a coach has a kid bunt with two strikes it is because they are pissed off they didn't get the bunt down in their previous attempts..vindictive is no way to coach.

I once had a kid who was money on 2 strike bunts lol......probably got 95% down and beat out 90% of those.....but she was an exception


although as a strategic move to increase chances of beating it out, it isn't a horrible call, depending on the player

Yeah if the kid is a good bunter and the other failed attempt(s) were an aberration then sure. However a lot of the times there was a reason they didn't get the bunt down previously..

What about when a kid pulls back on a ball right down the gut?

Was that directed at me? If so in that case the kid probably isn't a good bunter..or hitter so who knows..lol.
