Baseball Bunting Situations

Baseball bunting is part of the game of baseball and it is quite important.  Many big league teams don't take enough advantage of it and I'm not sure why.  Let's talk about baseball bunting situations and how you can take advantage of it.

First and third basemen play so deep that if you could just get a good bunt down you could almost walk down to first base.  Many players don't opt to do that though.  Rod Carew really took advantage of the bunt which just added to his already dangerous arsenal. 

There you go.  That is one legitimate bunting situation.  The single. 

An effective sacrifice bunt moves runners into scoring position and really places pressure on the defense.  They now have to deal with a runner on second or third and they tighten up a bit.  They know that a base hit could produce a run.

Baseball bunting can change games.  This isn't something just for little leaguers.  Big leaguers bunt almost every game.  It really depends on the situation and player.  You won't see a clean up hitter bunt very much, if at all, but you'll see guys at the top and bottom of the lineup bunt to help put their team in a better situation.
