What is the difference between bunting and hitting in baseball?
I am a softball player. Let me say first, bunting is basically half the swing as hitting. Hitting consists of swinging a bat across your entire body. Bunting, you swing 180 degrees and stop and let the ball hit your bat. Bunting makes the ball go in play at a small distance; hitting the ball can make your ball go anywhere!
What is sentence for bunting?
There are at least three different meanings for the word "bunting." One meaning refers to a kind of textile, a fabric that is often made of wool; in the old days, it was used for making flags and banners. Many ribbons in the 1800s were made of bunting, but today they might be made of different fabrics. Another meaning is an action in the game of baseball, when the batter strikes the ball in such a way that it stays in the infield and the pitcher or catcher must try to field it while the batter (who is often speedy) runs to first base. The pitcher was surprised to see the batter bunting the ball, since the batter was not a very fast runner. And a third meaning refers to a small bird which looks like a sparrow and eats seeds. Many people confuse the bunting with a finch, because they look and act very similarly.

If a runner is touched by a batted ball while off base before the ball passes an infielder (other than the pitcher), it's dead ball, runner is out. If the runner is on base when touched by a batted ball, it's live ball and play continues.
Is work done on a ball when a pitcher throws it is the pitcher stil doing work on the ball?
Well, that's a tough question. I suppose it all depends on how you look at "work." Obviously when the pitcher releases the ball, his work is finished, but the effect that he places on the thrown ball is not finished until the ball stops. The pitcher has transferred his "work" energy to the ball. The ball then carries out the remainder of his work.
