Gardner Bunting Way Into Girardi’s Good Graces
By BEN SHPIGEL

“...Starting in mid-December, Gardner would go to an indoor baseball facility near his home in Charleston, S.C., and bunt, bunt, bunt. He dumped a bucket of balls – about 80, he said – inside a machine called a Fungoman, which he could control by a remote that he kept in his pocket or at his feet. When one round was finished, he would pick up the balls and start again.

“It allows you to get a lot of reps in,” Gardner said. “The good thing was, I could just turn it on, didn’t have to unplug it or anything. I could just focus on getting a lot of work in.”

As long as young people have been playing baseball there have been coaches who hit baseballs, called fungoes, to players in an effort to teach them the basics of fielding. Those same coaches are also known for standing on the pitcher’s mound lobbing balls to players, with or without the aid of a pitching machine, to perfect their batting technique.

The idea of a machine that would allow a baseball player the ability to practice both hitting and fielding with a level of accuracy that no coach or standard pitching machine could duplicate seemed impractical, if not impossible just a few years ago. more...
