runner on 2b or 1b and 2b... give me some ideas on what you think is the best way to cover this bunt situation
was planning on 3b, P, and 1b charging with SS covering 3b and CF coming in to get 2b - 2baseman covering 1b
any ideas would be helpful - 12u team i'm coaching
Coach Al - if you have an athletic pitcher that would be great - my problem is that my pitchers are avg to below avg as far as fielding a bunt is concerned
i thought that a fake bunt steal would be a possibliity - the other option i thought of would be to have the SS cover 2b some and the LF come to get 3b as well as the third baseman or pitcher could scramble over if they did not field the bunt
thanks for your idea's
looking for more opinions - please post if you have one
my corner infielders are athletic, my pitchers are average at best.. one is below average as a bunt coverage fielder
snocatz dad - seems you are just wanting an out at 1b, rather than throwing to 2b to get the force.
a short bunt that the catcher could field or a hard bunt right at one of the other 3 defenders should produce a force at 2b wouldnt it?
after reading your preferences this is what i had in mind -
