Showing a bunt often has as much or more value than the bunt itself. Marte comes up with runners on 1st & 2nd with no outs & shows bunt on the 1st pitch. That forces Muncy up even with the base & Marte hits one by him down the...

From Caribbean Series last night.The value of aggressive 1st base play in defending the sac bunt with runners on 1st & 2nd.(Even easier with LH 1st baseman) Nothing holding the 1st baseman at or near 1B. Probably want the P breaking to 3B line. Good read by 3rd baseman.

Eighth inning 2-2 game with no outs & a runner on 2B & Boston’s Jarren Duran hitting against Dodgers Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Dodger’s hedge their bunt defense & keep their right side back to max out their range in case he does not bunt. They are anticipating a bunt to the 3B side & have Muncy up & Yamamoto breaking to the 3B side after he delivers the pitch. Duran scans the defense & sees Freeman back & executes a perfect early turn base hit bunt into that dead zone between the pitcher, 1B & 2B. Perfect speed & direction. With no outs & runners on 1st & 3rd the Dodgers stay back & turn a DP & what turns out to be the winning run scores.

Textbook sac bunt to 3B with runners on 1B & 2B & no outs by the Phillies Otto Kemp in extra innings of last night’s Cub-Phillies game. 1) Bat & eyes connected. 2) Elbows pointed down. 3) Heel up to allow his knee to take him down to the low ball.

Runners on 1st & 3rd one out & 3-2,count. Rockies Zach Agnos with well timed pick. ( Could have been off of dropped glove by catcher) #1 Note the position of the 1st baseman. He is off the & up the line. #2 This enables him to make a midline tag well before the runner reaches

Cubs Carson Kelly trails Nolan Arenado on a pop fly hit down the RF line with no runners on base that both the 1st & 2nd basemen go for. He is in position to take a back door throw from Kyle Tucker when Arenado falls down on his aggressive turn.

Drag bunt from left side. 1) show the bat before left foot hits 2) let the ball travel 2) try and catch the ball more towards the end of the barrel 4) master getting the ball down the 1st base line and you’re on 98% of the time. I’ll stand by that until I die.

Rockies down 2-0 in the bottom of the 9th with runners on 1B & 2B & they base hit bunt. The Red Sox are not surprised. They close with their 3B & 1B BUT their second baseman is way out of position to get to 1B before Cole Carrigg(A plus runner). In this situation the 2B can’t hold the runner on 2B & beat Carrigg to 1B. Looked like everything slowed down due to his lateness getting to 1st base. The SS has to hold the runner at 2B & the 2B has to cheat his positioning towards 1B so he beats Carrigg. It appears like they are hedging their positioning to protect the 6 hole in case Carrigg swings the bat. You can’t play everywhere. If you expect a bunt, you have to be in the best position to defend the bunt. The bunt was excellent. It was an early turn base hit bunt. Great direction & speed. The BHB choice put Carrigg in a better position to get out of the box fast(After seeing the ball down) & just beat the play to 1B. Of course you can argue that both teams did what they were supposed to do & the Rockies just out executed the Red Sox.

In the sixth inning, Torres hits a leadoff double & moves to third base on Perez's sacrifice bunt, but Nick gets a lineout & groundout (Jarren Purify) to keep the Tigers ahead. E6 || CU 3, MIA 2 🖥

Situations❗️Runners at 1st and 2nd, hitter shows bunt and runner at 2nd steals 3rd. I am sure this was just a miscue but it’s a great lesson to show for this type of situation. If a hitter shows bunt and 3rd baseman breaks in, SS should be getting the bag. I always hated this scenario as a SS because you can’t shade too far up the middle incase a runner steals 3rd like this scenario but you also can’t be shaded too far towards 3rd incase a ball is hit on the ground to the right and you have to cover 2nd. If a 3rd baseman breaks in for the bunt but tries to get back to cover the bag on the steal, 9 times out of 10 they will be late getting there. Now, 3rd baseman can decide to stay back and cover the bag which is totally fine. It would just need to be communicated to the SS and catcher/pitcher before the pitch because SS can shade a little more up the middle and pitcher/catcher/1st would have to cover the bunt if it’s laid down. Every coach will have their preference depending on the game situation at hand.

Down 1 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 6th & the bases loaded. 2028 1B/3B Myles Tate comes through in the clutch as he pulls this down the line for the 3 RBI 2B to take a 6-4 lead. On-base all 4 times; 2-for-2 with a HR, 2B, & 4 RBI. Woodward Academy Athletics || Shooter Hunt #GAHS26

The Twins loaded the bases with no outs when Mark Vientos tried to nab the lead runner at third base on this sacrifice bunt attempt. The next batter, Luke Keaschall, put them ahead on an RBI single. The Mets are three outs away from losing their 12th in a row.

🚨 PFPs : Covering 1st • Sprint over w/ an arc to your run • Catch the ball at the grass-dirt cutout • Tag the base on the inside • Break it down & turn ready to throw ⭐️ Pick a spot 3 feet up the line & slowly arc to the base as you run - to avoid getting stepped on.

Defensively this is how you handle two runners on the same base to pull off a DP. Tag the trail runner 1st then tag the lead runner & retag him once he vacates the base. As a base runner, “ make the umpire chase you off the base.”

The big takeaway on this pick is the tag & the positioning of the first baseman. Partially as a result of instant replay, 1st basemen are positioned in front of the base & up the line closer to 2B. Most tags are made away from the base on the runner’s midline before they get to

Heady base running play by Albuquerque Isotobes Jimmy Herron. With the bases loaded & two outs he runs through 2B verses sliding to have a better chance to beat the force. As a result the runner from 3B scores & the runner from 2B almost scores.

SPEED KILLS Rockies Jake McCarthy lays down a bunt in an untraditional situation. Ninth inning two run lead with one out 3-1 count. Usually a damage count. He sees the 3B back off & pretty much give him a free hit. He looks at it as a double because he is confident in his ability to steal 2B which he does. He then bounces around at 2B & distracts the pitcher enough that he balks. He goes to 3B & scores on a sac fly. Not the kind of disruptive one man band stuff you see in professional baseball very often.
