buntMAsTer MAT is now available. Perfect for teaching bunters proper, consistent stance which is the foundation for any great bunter. Add this weapon to your game this fall and winter. Message me for more information.
I’ve watched a lot of baseball this spring and the lack of fundamentals with bunting is tough to watch. Difference in close games is executing a bunt under pressure.
The goal of bunting should be a hit or at least putting pressure on defense to make a difficult play not to give up an out.
Most important aspect of consistent, successful bunting is the stance. Step one in the stance sets the body up for success or failure. Details matter.
One of the biggest mistakes bunters make is trying to adjust to the pitch by moving the bat instead of moving the body. More bat movement leads to less successful bunts
Had a great time bunting with @DuchesneBasebal - great programs are always looking for ways to get better.

After talks with my family and people close to me, I have decided to decommit from Missouri S&T and reopen my recruitment. I am appreciative of the opportunity, but excited for what the future holds. @howell_baseball @PrepBaseballMO @DeegsBaseball @NickHerrinsAs
I also have some days open if you want to do a one day bunting clinic with your team or program. Message me if interested
Any Missouri high school program interested in a buntMAsTer stance mat - I have a couple left. Great station for indoor practices- like when it’s supposed to rain all week.
If you don’t practice the timing of bunting and getting out of box, you will struggle to bunt in games
