Bunt Coverage

Coach Labeots100+ posts

We are thinking of going to a bunt coverage with pitcher covering one base line and only one fielder, either first or third, covering their base line. We have been sending both 1st and 3rd plus pitcher but have been out of position after fielding some bunts, especially 3rd. 1st and pitcher would cover with posible play at 3rd. and 3rd would cover when only play is at 1st.

I anticipate the offense attempting to bunt where the fielder ain't, so we'll try to pitch away from that.

Is it feasable to run this type of bunt defense? Is it too much ground for each of the 2 covering? Do you love it when another team does this?

What have you found?
