It's been statistically proven that a runner on first with no outs has a better chance of scoring than a runner on second with 1 out. Granted, it's only 3% but it still matters in that one game. As far as running from first to 3rd by the baserunner on first? You might not want to try that against my team. We'll get you out 9 out of 10 times. Then again, we're a TB team.

Your team probably also well-coached. I've seen plenty of TB teams who do a poor job with bunt defense, and get their @$$ burned on that play.

It works against bad teams but not a great move against a really good team unless the kid is really fast. One time I like to try is when playing a team with a stud pitcher who we just aren't going to string a lot of hits together on. I've seen enough teams like that who either get lazy or just don't play great D. If I have a weaker hitter up with a fast runner on 1st I'll give it a shot.
