Sacrifice Bunt, Runners on 1st & 2nd

Corner fields → out at first; SS covers third

A sacrifice bunt with runners on first and second. The corners crash; the safe play is the out at first while the shortstop covers third so the lead runner can't advance freely.

Coaching notes

Key point

Runners on first and second: take the sure out at first, but the shortstop MUST cover third or the lead runner advances for free.

Drill

Two-on bunt coverage: freeze the defense and check that third is covered and first is manned before any throw.

Watch for

Forcing a play at third you don't have and throwing it away — take the out you're given unless the wheel is on.
