Suggestion for Bunting

[japowery]

In the current bunting system, we have control over the direction we want to place the bunt, but we have no control over the type of contact we make. This takes away the skill of having to put the ball in play and means that I am almost guaranteed to get the ball down (or popped-up) over the course of an at-bat. I have never once struck out with a player trying to lay down a bunt.

A lot of the issues we have with bunting could be nerfed if they allowed us to use a (slim, bat-sized) PCI to control our bat, and then make the direction of the ball dependent on (1) where it's pitched (2) the type of contact that is made. Bunting is difficult, and laying down a dead ball down the line should have to be earned.
