Consultant posted:Nathan,
depends on the opposing coaches strategy, the type of hitter at bat, the ability of your pitcher to field bunts, is it a "bunt" situation? What is the score? The inning? #of outs, are you the home team?
what is your objective? Win the game?

If I have a very athletic guy on the mound I tell him to get every single bunt he can get to so my corners can stay back. That's how we handle regular bunts. When it comes to drag / push bunt then knowing your opponent helps. I won't say we never play 1B up just for that situation but overall we stay back.
