Well, it's just like that when you bunt. You want to catch the ball with the bat. And you start to stand up as you make contact with the barrel of the bat. Making contact with the barrel of the bat kills the ball so you won't get a hard bunt. You want to make sure that your bunt is soft so you can advance the runners.
Catchers can be quick.
If the bunt is too soft, they can reach the ball and throw the ball to a base for the out. So you should try to aim the baseball to travel in between the catcher and the infielder. The batter should know which player moves quicker to put the bunt in the right spot so it can work. This section will teach you a simple drill using your batting tee to hit pitches over the inside and outside corners of the plate. The goal is to use the same swing for every ball.
