Bunt with runner on 1st base set play drill: This drill is a set play that you can use when you are on offence to expose certain teams defensive weaknesses, to generate base runners and hopefully to more runs.
*
Setup of Drill: Setup your full defense and have a batter and one runner on 1st base. This only works with less then 2 outs and best used when the runner on 1st base is a fast runner and your batter is a very good bunter. If you know you will be trying to execute this set play, setup your line up to accommodate for this. Ex. Lead off hitter is your fastest runner and 2 batter in the line up is an excellent bunter.
*
Step 1: Have your pitcher throw easy pitches your batter can easily bunt. To execute this play, batter will have to make sure to bunt down to 3rd base. Runner on 1st will steal on the pitch. 3rd baseman will field the ball. 3rd base should be not occupied because 3rd baseman fielded the bunt. Runner should be looking at 3rd base coach and if no one is backing up 3rd base, the runner should make the turn too advance to 3rd base. Forcing either the 3rd baseman back quickly or left fielder to cover 3rd base.
*
Step 2: If play is made at 1st base, you concede an out to advance the runner to 3rd base. If batter is able to make it to 1st base safely, you now have runners on 1st and 3rd base.
*
How to Counter against this set play: Practice this set play when your team is on defense and they have a runner on first. 3rd baseman still fields the bunt but the catcher should automatically know to back top 3rd base and pitcher should cover home plate. Keep practicing this drill, to get your players use to knowing where to go on this set play.

This is a great drill to help you generate runs on weaker defensive teams. #softball #SoftballDrills 🥎🥎🥎 #EasySoftballDrills #Softball #SoftballPracticeDrills #FunSoftballDrills #infielddrills #buntdrills
