Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when the player with the best plan… has to give it up for his team?Davis has been playing Maplewood Little League for five seasons — all the way back to his first nervous swings in a Lugnuts tee-ball jersey. Now he's the shortstop for the Maplewood Marlins, and he comes to every game with a plan. Double-knot cleats. Three practice swings. And tonight — a pitch-by-pitch read on the Sunnydale Vipers' hard-throwing lefty that he's been building since the first inning.But when the Marlins fall behind and Davis steps to the plate with a runner on first, Coach Danny asks him to do the one thing he didn't plan for.Put the bat on the ball softly. Lay it down. And trust someone else to finish the job.For a kid who likes control, that's the hardest play on the field.With a little help from a familiar figure tucked in the shadow of the dugout — golden whistle glowing in the field lights — Davis discovers that doing your part sometimes means stepping back, and that trusting your teammates might just be the most powerful move in baseball.Davis and the Perfect Bunt is a warm, satisfying baseball bedtime story for kids ages 4–10 that teaches:Trusting teammates — letting go so others can shineDoing your part — the quiet plays matter as much as the big onesResilience — bouncing back when the game doesn't go your wayFriendship — sometimes your best friend is wearing the other team's jerseyFeaturing Brooklyn cheering from the stands in a Vipers jersey, a teammate who gets a second chance, and one perfectly placed bunt that changes everything.🎙️ Never miss a story — follow Dreamtime Sports so every new episode finds its way to you.Ready for more?
