Bunt Defense
The Bunt Defense is a strategic approach used in baseball to prevent the opposing team from successfully executing a bunt. When a batter attempts to bunt, the defense must quickly react to field the ball and make an accurate throw to get the runner out. This often involves positioning players, such as the pitcher and third baseman, to cover the area around home plate and third base.
In a typical Bunt Defense setup, the infielders move closer to the batter to be ready for a quick play. The pitcher may also adjust their position to field the ball effectively. Communication among players is crucial to ensure everyone knows their responsibilities and can respond swiftly to the situation.
