Reply to "Bunt Coverage"

1. Pitcher may covers 3rd base line when there is a runner on 2nd base, the 3rd basemant cover 3rd base, but he has to be alert, if the bunt pass the pitcher he has to cover the bunt.

2. With runner on 2nd, thirdbaseman,
firstbaseman and pitcher cover the bunt, SS covers 3rd base, and secondbaseman covers first base.

3. Makes the pitcher cover the first base line keeping the 1rst baseman covering the bag is not communlly used, but in a situation when the hitter is a lefty with power and the bunt situation is not clear, may be used.

In all situations the defensive ability of the pitcher is a factor to take in consideration to desig the bunt's defensive play.

Don't try to do too much, if the other team is giving you an out take it!, only make the out of the advanced runner if it is a sure out.
