I’m a big guy. I’m 6′ 4″ and way too many pounds that I’m going to have to lose before my wedding next year. Despite this, I’ve somehow managed to perfect the art of the drag bunt.
I didn’t really play baseball growing up. Tennis was my sport throughout high school, and briefly into my first year of college. But when I joined a softball league a few years ago, opponents would see a huge left-hander stepping up to the plate and would back up. And since my abilities to hit line drives to the gap isn’t as consistent as Austin Meadows, I would chop down on the first pitch — all while managing to turn over my wrist to make the play legal — and make contact down the line while running out of the box at the same time.
