Bell up with 17 hrs. She does that stupid square around to bunt (obviously she's not bunting) and then grounds out to 2nd. With 17 hrs and clearly she has power, why not get in a solid stance and be ready to hit? Am I the only one that thinks some of these girls need to stop the unnecessary movement and just hit the ball?

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

The way it was explained to me at camp was it teaches the hitter to put two eyes on the pitch. They get their head squared up and it helps maintain that line of sight.

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

I have another softball question. How in the frick can you make contact with the ball when you are 5ft outside of the batters box? That shite is so aggravating

it shortens their swing. because the pitcher is so close to the plate, this allows the hitter to start her swing from the front side of her back shoulder instead of having the bat far back.
