We really don't use the wheel as a bunt defense. I use it with a runner on 3B and it seems to be a squeeze situation. I can still have 3B and 1B charge to cover the bunts and have first base covered with 2B. But in case the bunt is missed and the runner stops to head back to 3B we have the SS there for the rundown. Helps to keep the thirdbaseman from trying to catch a ball and apply a tag while running backwards.

If we have a runner on 2B and it is a normal bunt situation I will play my 3B in a little but tell him to cover the bag UNLESS the bunt is at him past the pitcher.
