Softball player unveils stunning new trick shot

A softball player could be about to gain worldwide recognition after unveiling a new shot that could take the game by storm – the behind-the-back bunt.

The player, identified as Sarah Rowles in the original Instagram video, shows no indication she is about to debut the shot as she stands at the plate.

But as the ball is pitched, Rowles sends the crowd wild as she skilfully flicks the bat behind her back and solidly connects with the ball.

The perfectly executed trick shot evades the fielders and Rowles is able to scamper safely into first base.

The stunning shot seems to have been a pre-planned play with the camerawoman nearly losing her voice as she screams in delight.
