95% of the league is atrocious at bunting. It's one thing to do it in Little League with little Jeremy throwing 55 MPH straightballs at you, it's another with Mariano trying to shear your bat off at your hands.

Contact hitters all who emphasized hitting for average most guys won't shorten their swing with two strikes, let alone bunt. When was the last time anyone choked up?
