Nothing, it would still be considered a home run.

But it's safe to say that this will never happen. It's physically impossible to bunt a ball over the outfield wall. Also, even if the ball was bunted and the runner reached first base safely, he would only be able to continue rounding the bases on throwing errors.

Can you bunt a home run without defensive errors - if so how?

No, it would require a defensive error(s) to stretch a bunt into a home run - a fielder throwing the ball into the stands, or the like.


When someone bunts the ball and runs to first and the fielder throws to home trying to get the out there does the bunt-er have a hit or a sacrifice as no one was put out?

I would consider it a hit/bunt. It is a sacrifice bunt if the bunter knows they will get out so another runner can advance or get a run. Hope this kind of helps


What will break something a home run or a sacrifice bunt?

A Home Run probably won't break a bat, because the action of the bat breaking will reduce the distance the ball will fly. A bunt probably won't break a bat, either. But you could break a finger or an ankle in either case. Either one could break a record.

When you bunt is there a line that you have to pass with the ball?

No. Even if the batter bunts the ball and it stops dead on home plate, it's a fair ball and he can run. He'll be out by a mile, but it's a fair ball. The trick is to bunt the ball just far enough where none of the fielders can get to it in time to throw out any runners.
