Bunted foul for 3rd strike

[CoachJZ]

First of all, fantastic app! Please tell me if this is the most efficient/effective way to handle a bunted foul ball for a 3rd strike: With 2 strikes (obviously), the kid bunts foul for the 3rd strike. If I hit "Foul", it just says foul ball and stays at 2 strikes. So, I hit "Out" (since it is the 3rd strike). I then hit "Bunt", then touch on the field, in foul territory, where the ball went, then Next. The screen then says, "Touch each position that handled the ball in the order that the play occurred. Only include the positions involved in making the out(s)." With this, I don't touch ANY position, since it's just a foul ball, and then Done. It does successfully record the out, but is this the best way to do this? The "Out" screen does not have an option for a bunted 3rd strike. Thanks for any input.

Doing it that way will not credit the pitcher with a strikeout. We would suggest using Strikeout Swinging, and then just add a Note to the play saying it was a fouled bunt.

Perfect! Thank you. In my mind, I wasn't equating a bunt with a swing, nor did I think about crediting the pitcher. Bear with me, I've only gotten the app a few days ago.

Can you add bunted foul as a strikeout option so catcher does not get a putout?

(b) The official scorer shall credit an automatic putout to the catcher when a:
(1) batter is called out on strikes;
(2) batter is called out for an illegally batted ball;
(3) batter is called out for bunting foul for his third strike;

Sweet! I did not know that was the case - learn something every day!
