Everything you thought you knew about bunts is wrong: Watch a KBO player bunt for a double

By Ben Cosman

KT Wiz outfielder Lee Dae-hyung, of the KBO, is here to show you that everything you thought you knew about bunts is wrong.

In the third inning against the NC Dinos, Dae-hyung laid down a bunt, only it didn't lay down. Instead, the ball popped up, went over the Dinos infielders' heads and landed in shallow center field. By the time anyone got to it, he was into second with a stand-up double. He's done this before, too:

The bunt as you knew it is dead. Long live the extra-base bunt.
