Watch: Schwarber drops down the best bunt you'll ever see
Jerry Lai / USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
Bunting has been steadily declining in Major League Baseball over the past few years, but Kyle Schwarber, the Chicago Cubs' burly leadoff hitter, may have just made the practice cool again, singlehandedly.
Looking to beat the Milwaukee Brewers' shift in the bottom of the first Monday at Wrigley Field, Schwarber dropped down the most exquisite bunt you'll ever see in your life, deftly nudging the ball up the the third-base line - like, literally, on the line - before getting it to doink right off the bag for a fair ball.
To be fair, that may have just been beginner's luck: Schwarber hadn't recorded a bunt single through the first 83 regular-season games of his career.
