I thought so too but the left handed slappers do it every time


All speed players learn to slap bunt from the left side when they are 9 or 10 years old. My daughter was almost automatic when she played.

There are many reason why they do it. In softball it's no big deal. I wish it was taught more to the little league kids but everyone wants to hit home runs.

Ronk...those of us who have daughters that play softball or people like me who coached it 25-30 years are trying to give you an answer and then you still want to debate? What a dummy you must be...if it works, then don't change it. It's simple.

It's illegal in some leagues at the lower level. Too dangerous for a kid to charge the bunt then eat a line drive.
