Question
Explain the bunt rules. My friend says if you try to bunt with 2 strikes you are automatically out. I say he is wrong. Who is right?
S,
The only difference between the bunt rules and other batting is that a foul bunt is always a strike, even when the batter has two strikes on them. So if you bunt foul with two strikes, you are out. But if you bunt the ball fair with two strikes, you can run to first.
Hope this helps!
Brian
