Safety Squeeze Bunt

• Throw down plate set up with fence as backstop
• Bunter sets up even with the plate, standing
• One group member/coach stands 15 feet in front of bunter and tosses ball underhand at a slow to medium speed down the middle of the plate
• Other group member(s) gather the balls as they are bunted
• Bunter squares to bunt after the ball has been thrown by the tosser, as late as possible
• Bunter focuses on keeping the bat at the top of the strike zone (chest level) with the barrel slightly higher than the hands, and bunting the ball in fair territory, no matter if the pitch is a ball or strike
• Top hand should be slid to the bottom of the barrel and the bottom hand should be at the bottom of the grip
• Partners switch after 5 bunts
