This video goes into the importance of the sacrifice bunt and how each player on the team should be able to execute the sacrifice bunt. There are three keys to a sacrifice bunt. The first key is stance and there are two ways to stand to sacrifice bunt. The first stance squares your body up completely toward the pitcher. The second stance is to turn to face the pitcher without squaring your lower body.
The second key to sacrifice bunting is hand placement. The top hand should be brought up the bat and hid behind the barrel and the bottom hand should be brought toward the top of the handle. The sacrifice bunt should be started from the top of the strike zone and any pitch below that point the bat should be brought down to the ball by using the legs. The barrel should be slightly higher than the hands to aid in hitting the ball down.
