How to prevent a bunt drill: This drill will teach your players how to setup your defence, in order to help prevent teams from bunting against you
*
Setup of Drill: Setup an entire infield, have a batter standing in the batter box, looking at the 3rd base coach taking signs
*
Step 1: In order to execute this bunt prevention drill. Timing is of essence. When you know the team is going to bunt and you want to prevent them from doing it, you have to immedietly have your 3rd baseman and 1st baseman basically crash the plate and stand as close as possible to the batter.
*
The 3rd base coach will see this, and hopefully the coach will call off the bunt sign for the batter. As soon as the batter, has received the signs/instructions, and steps back in the box, have your 3rd baseman and 1st baseman move quickly back to their actual position, or at least close to it.
*
Step 2: Coach will see this and if the bat continues, the coach will now have seen what the defence did, and try to execute the bunt this time. This is where you as the coach, will call for a specific type of pitch. One that will be very difficult for the batter to bunt. A high and inside pitch or low and away pitch. Have your 3rd baseman and 1st baseman crash the plate again and stand in front of the plate/player and this time, have them stay in that position, to show the opposing coach, that your players are ready to field that bunt.
*
This drill takes a communication and all players must understand what’s expected of them. I highly recommend if your are going to try this play, make sure your 3rd baseman and 1st baseman are wearing protective face masks. Pitcher also knows their role on what to pitch and when. This is a great drill to have in your toolbox of plays, that can help prevent bunts against your team. 🥎🥎🥎#softball #SoftballDrills #EasySoftballDrills #Softball #SoftballPracticeDrills #FunSoftballDrills #preventbunts #buntingdefence
