Always wondered why not. A bunch of them know how to teach bunt it to the pitcher :mad:
Because coaches don't know how to coach it, slapping is cool, and there must be a forced separation between to sports which has been discussed before

My girls are straight power hitters but the will drag bunt from the right side of they catch you slipping

I'm working with this on my dd also. Two things that I believe are problems- Watching results, as stated above and I think it feels weird for a natural righty to explode off the left foot. Just my opinion but if my dd lines up to sprint, the right foot is the push off foot. I don't know if there is any "scientific" fact to this but it is just an observation I've made with my dd. Doesn't help that they are already moving and need to accelerate from an unnatural position. Just started working on sprinting with the left foot providing the push, we'll see if it helps. I'm also dealing with an 11 yo that is quick/athletic but has very little body awareness and has a very "spastic" running form at times. We really work on not letting her arms flail out to the sides and not taking huge strides right off the bat.

The statistical arguments being made against bunting were for sac bunts alone..I am not sure you ever actually picked up on that tbh..

Read the information offered was beyond sacrafice only.
Its a skillset. That was my only point! And is the point! :)
Pretty good article on drag bunts in practical hitting!
Perhaps one day your dd's speed will be able to overwelm the defense!
Enjoy!
