Softball question: why square to bunt and pull back to swing away

Has she done that all year? And hit 17hrs by doing it?

Stupid..

And by stupid I mean you..

Could she have hit 25 hrs if she went up there and set her stance and got ready for the pitch? It's just a question. I don't see any mlb (the best of the best) players trying to square around and then pull back. I know baseball and softball are different but pitcher has ball, pitcher throws ball, batter sees ball, batter hits ball.

I think ron white said it best..


Ya can't fix stupid..

I think she knows what she's doing

Bc in softball even power hitters bunt for hits. Did you see Jaquish do it in the game today?

I understand power hitters still bunt. I'm just curious as to why a power hitter in an obvious hitting situation wouldn't get in there and focus on hitting. The squaring up seems like a distraction of a batters focus. It changes your stance and also your line of sight because your eye level moves from a lower level to a higher level as the pitcher is delivering the ball.

It takes second guessing off their minds while waiting, and allows them to react to the pitch naturally, is what I've heard.

If this was really effective, why haven't baseball players picked up on it.

Because most softball players can't move 60 ft very fast
