Love that chart. Not to hijack the thread, but it seems to indicate that a no-out sac bunt to move the runner from 1st to 2nd is counter-productive (as is the bunt to move the runner from 2nd to 3rd, or 1st & 2nd to 2nd & 3rd with no outs).

Correct. That's why you pretty much no longer see it done in the majors (except by pitchers). I don't think we currently have enough data to predict how similar the numbers would be for college and high school. One problem is that there's a much wider range of still in college and high school, so you really shouldn't generalize as much.
I follow D3 baseball. For a swag, I look at the OBP and SLG for the guys coming to bat. There are loads of guys with > .500 OBP. I wouldn't give up an out with one of those guys at the plate just to move a runner except for a few very specific situations.
