Abstract: A bunt guard (10) removably attachable to a baseball bat (12) for protecting a player's fingers and hand from impact by a baseball while the player is learning to bunt a baseball. A ring (14) on the bunt guard encircles the baseball bat and removably secures the bunt guard to a tapered portion of the bat by a frictional fit. A shield (16) attaches to the ring (14) and extends on the front side (28) of the bat (12) where the player grips the baseball bat (12) when bunting. The shield (16) protects the player's fingers and hand from impact with a baseball.
