I have seen a lot of slash bunting this year. It's interesting to me. We protect our catchers with sliding rules at home plate and don't allow base runners to run catchers over, but we still allow slash bunting. Back in my day (it was a while ago haha) slash bunting earned the player who slash bunted a baseball between the eyes in his next AB. I realize it puts the hitter at a disadvantage, but I have seen hitters slash bunt and turn on the ball. I wonder how long it will be before some INF is drilled before slash bunting is addressed. I understand the strategy, but i also understand the strategy of running that catcher over as well....just a thought
