I have been blessed with having several ladies over the years on each team that was a very proficient bunter and having all the ladies understand the value of getting a bunt down. Just getting the defense to move back or in even with 2 strikes while laying it down or possibly driving it through the infield with a square and swing will help generate offense.
The key is (like has been said many times on this forum) is owning the batters box...and my experience has found that the good hitters are generally good bunters...
Early on I would have to give bunt signs (like most do) once we hit 18U the ladies that have been around enough to know what they have to do with a few exceptions...
That is why (in my opinion) it is not seen as much in the upper levels or older age levels since the players more often than not get it down before they get two strikes.
I will say last year in the High School ball I seen a lot more ladies bunting on every pitch delivery. Not sure if the coach called for it or the ladies just felt it was the best chance they had of getting on...or making contact...
As far as dad going off because of bunting with two k?????
