Y’all remember those old compilation videos where a Normal bunt would be edited to make it look like it it bounced off the bat and went into the crowd for a HR? I miss those
It could happen, but it would require some unique circumstances and perhaps a judgment call by the score keeper. In 2015 WS, KC player hit an inside the park HR without an error. It happened because the Mets outfielder made a try to field a difficult fly ball that then deflected off his glove to roll some distance away from any fielder. KC player made it home without a play. It was debatable whether it was an error by the outfielder or not, but it was reasonable to say no. If there was a scenario where a collision happened between two infielders trying to catch a bloop bunt (say, 3rd and ss) knocking them both out of the play, and the ball then rolls into shallow left field, and the outfielders are deep for whatever reason, or perhaps not paying enough attention. The 2nd baseman was holding 2nd for a possible play there, and the pitcher chases the ball rather than holding 3rd. The batter rounds 3rd at full speed as the outfielder picks up the ball and throws home. The ball is not well thrown enough and draws the catcher off the plate, and the batter beats the catcher's desperate lunge.
I feel like if you’re the right fielder and paying attention, any time you see the hitter lay down a bunt you should start heading towards the foul line just in case this kind of thing happens.
@@jamesage24 absolutely. Every fielder of mine knew their situational responsibility before the pitch: ball, base, or backup. RF sees the bunt go down and they are SPRINTING to the right field line. Every base counts.
They were likely taught at some point along the way that _any_ throw to first base the RF should be moving quickly to the line, but especially for tough plays at 3B where the throw angle makes backing up that much more important. But the quality of arms in the IF at the pro level, and getting lazy, usually means throws to 1st will be caught, so why exert energy.
In cricket it’s called backing up and it’s drilled into players from the second they start the game. Always think about where the ball could go if someone messes up.
So you would just let the runner go to third? How about just make a halfway decent throw? It's extremely rare to overthrow the base that badly at the MLB level.
@@mandark8561 yeah I’d rather have them stopped at third than risk giving up a run on a bad throw to third. As long as you stop them On base you can get out of it.
@@mandark8561 Another question is how often do you think they practice a throw from the fence to third like that. Then factor in the chaos of the moment and the adrenaline likely running through their body, and it's VERY easy to miss your mark or overthrow.
Man I love this. When I was younger I was pretty good at bunting. As the lead off hitter, my coach would ask me to bunt quite a bit. I remember turning a bunt into a triple one time, but goddamn, to turn it into a home run is nuts. I love seeing this.
@@golfmaniac007 yea technically ur right. i think the same way. but still as a player i imagine its more fun than hitting a homer lol. and on the board run wise its same so whatever. its exciting to watch.
One time I lead off with a bunt in LL and I was safe at first they overthrew the first baseman I got to 3rd on it when it reached the 3rd baseman and then the 3rd baseman overthrew the pitcher which led me to score
Weren't the only. I was like yeah right. The correct term that should have been said was inside the park home run lol. On a side note two wild throws are the reason for the result and it looks hilarious
Not enough steroids in the world to get that,. Since today's fan is in love with HR's ,we. Can bring in the fences to about 150feet,( just passed infield dirt)

Guzman's has to be one of a kind, it's the first time I've ever seen a guy slide (dive, actually) into both first and home on the same play. That dude got up more times running out a bunt than I do all Sunday
In 1972, I saw one of these in person in a game at Shea Stadium. Bud Harrelson laid down a bunt, it got thrown away, and he ended up coming all the way around to score. Game vs. the Dodgers. There was a runner on base, so two or three errors on the play (I'm not sure), two runs scored and no RBI's. Harrelson only hit about seven or eight actual HR's in his whole career, so maybe that should count as one, though obviously it doesn't.
@@johnboehmer6683 I thought Dennis was correct but didn't want to defend him because of my own perception of my baseball knowledge. So, first clip is from a game on September 23, 2017. Dozier is the man that laid down the bunt in the 1st inning. Scoring reads for this AB, "Dozier reached on bunt single to third, Dozier scored on throwing error by third baseman Candelario." Also, the only HR listed in the box score for the Twins that day reads, "Granite (1, 8th inning off Hardy 2 on, 2 Out)". Nothing about Dozier. I'll check the others as well just to be sure but the first one is definitely not scored as a HR.
@@johnboehmer6683 Looked at all the box scores for the MLB ones. Some were a little difficult to find including the Aybar 2009 one.

@@patron40silver yeah these aren't home runs. These are bad defensive plays and a lot of them aren't even singles. Good base running perhaps but these aren't home runs.
This reminds me of that one movie(name escapes me atm) where a Dodgers player is transferred to the Japanese league and there's a point where he's asked to bunt and refuses and gets out, later in the movie he's asked to swing, bunts, and everyone scores and the team wins the game.
@@charlespetrie5757 I never saw that movie when it came out. I was wiki-ing Selleck for something a while back and ended up reading about the movie. It sounds like a fun movie.
Fun fact, I ruined my best friend’s perfect game with one of these 😂 we were in 10yr old rec ball and we had one foul tip through four innings (we played 5) and the coach gave me the bunt sign. Still a no-hitter for my buddy, but I feel a little icky about ruining it with a bunt for him haha
These are ALL *bunt singles* with multiple throwing errors. I truly expected to see Bo Jackson square to bunt and pop-fly one over the left field fence! 🤣 If anyone could, he could.
Bo was a stud. On his way to Canton and Cooperstown. That shitty injury to his hip was just that, shitty. Football was done. Baseball? First at bat back? Boom! For his mother.
This always makes smile. Especially when my son's Little League coach PREACHES the bunt... we had a few bunt hrs this year & won districts... also, they won 4 out of six tournaments over the years.
I bet they had exactly 0 bunt homeruns. You would need to run AT LEAST eight times faster than the person fielding the ball to reach home before they get to the bal. Unless you're 70 and your son's little league team are a group of 30 year old Ichiros, you have a bunch of singles, maybe even a double in there, combined with multiple errors on each play.
I remember those days. 1-4 with 3 strikeouts and a swinging bunt home run, and the score was always like 15-11 after 4 innings because there were always those two kids who were in a private league and hit home runs every time, out of the park or otherwise.
It's very simple. If an official scorer deems a throw too late and the batter is awarded first base, on a wild throw, and if no other throw is an error, and the runner scores on the same play, that IS an official inside-the-park bunt homerun.
@@OzvenomDnD I don’t really think this was click bait tho. There are some people out there that actually think these are homeruns (such as the person who posted this video?).
The equation for a bunt home run is simple, but it requires a complete breakdown on defense: 1. Relatively good bunt placement 2. A high throw or error to first which lands the ball in the right field just out of reach 3. A second miss throw or error to third base
Of course my Dbacks have two clips in a row. I get it, okay? We suck. Now as a Packers fan I know how it feels to love the Lions. I feel for y'all, I really do, damn.

Not technically home runs. I'm not the first comment to say that, probably. Nevertheless, much more exciting than the over-the-fence home run which, despite the common belief, is really not near as exciting as a single, stolen base, and scoring from 2nd on a single. Another version would be a single and scoring on a hit in the outfield gap.
@@keithhakanson7040 I probably am a fan of the dead ball era. When I watch tennis, I like seeing rallies, not single serve aces. Kind of the same thing.

These are insane I was sure this would be bringing people in for a run from 3rd with bunts but bunt inside the park homers…… I’ve never even heard of this and it’s happened this many times!
All these clips are like: bunts to make it a tough play: Pitcher throws it away: right fielder gets it and throws it to third and misses: runner scores
This video reminds me of that old commercial with the little kid telling his Grandpa over the phone "I hit a real home run Grandpa" while the video in the overlay shows the fielders throwing the ball all over the field.
In most of these, the ball is following the runner. Because of the bad throw to (or bad catch at) first, an error makes getting to third easy. Home only requires a missed catch. The weird one is the NPB pay from Japan because the ball is going ~toward~ where the runners are going, not coming from behind.
Moral of the story, never expect the pitcher to be able to make a throw if they end up fielding it. No matter how many PFP's they do they'll still throw it away often
Moral of the story: If a batter bunts, don't throw a high ball to first base or the fabric of time will be ripped, everything will go wrong, and the runner will score
Apparently bunt home runs are not like actual inside the park home runs from a standpoint to not have a single error committed on behalf of a player of the defensive opposition
I don’t understand the one at 1:40 where the ball went into the dugout, bounced out and then they just gave up and let him run home? Is the ball considered out after it went in there or something?

technically is a bunt single w errors but nun the less a bunt home run with only one error is impressive
Better title is “Errors on bunts create an inside the park home run”
I bet this was a lot more common back when some of the fields had 500' fences.
Savage brick sports:Bunt home runs in BASEBALL. Shows bunt home run in softball
if you blow the throw to first just throw the ball into the stands once its recovered to stop the runner and only allow a +1 base
omg Doug Davis, that shows how rare a play like that is!
Yes, I usually excel at baseball ball.
I mean...literally none of those were "home runs." A couple of them were singles with subsequent errors, but most weren't even singles; just errors.
It's crazy how all but two of them happened the exact same way
If I had a nickel for every time the Twins had a bunt homerun, I would have 10 cents. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Wow, this is way more common than I expected
Basically, it all happens when a throw to first goes into right field
