During this phase you are about to make contact with the baseball. You want the baseball bat to start at the top part of the strike zone. This helps you place the bunted ball on the ground instead of a pop up. Now the most important thing about bunting is how you make contact with the baseball. You never want to poke the ball, your not hitting hit. You want to absorb the ball like catching it with a glove. Instead of a glove you have a baseball bat. Now you catch the ball with the bat and lightly push the ball on the ground towards the baselines.  If you poke at the baseball it will pop up due to the strong force placed upon the baseball.
