The off-season for hitters is confusing.

You spend months training.. Chasing bat speed, better direction, and strike zone awareness.

But you never really know if it’s going to transfer until you face pitching.

Most hitters build a training swing, not a game swing.

They train comfort, not chaos.

Michael Jordan said it best:
“I watched how others practiced… they were deceiving themselves about what the game requires.”

That’s most hitters.

It only matters if you can do it, under pressure, on time, and in a tight window.

Good hitters don't need to "see one" in BP. They just get in the cage and start hitting.

Showing a bunt often has as much or more value than the bunt itself. Marte comes up with runners on 1st & 2nd with no outs & shows bunt on the 1st pitch. That forces Muncy up even with the base & Marte hits one by him down the 3B line.
