I like to use a 1st to 3rd trap bunt defense, for those aggressive coaches in a younger leagues. When your outfielders don't as deep. I use my Left fielder to cover 3rd. I appears as the base is open because my 3rd baseman isnt recovering, so its a visual que for an automatic runner advance for runners and coaches. Everyones suprised when there is fielder that snuck in to catch that runner by a mile. After that the jigs up. It only works once a game, or until you been scouted by other teams.

I agree with almost everything that you talked about. 3B has to get back, etc etc. But my initial thought is that this was a called play by the Murray St. coaches. They're in a tight game with a much better Georgia team, and are trying to do anything they can to put a runner in a better scoring position. I don't think you see this called as much in the college ranks, but you definitely see it at the younger ages, mainly because you get the defense falling asleep a bit more. This defensive structure has been taught since 12U with the teams that I've helped with and probably should be taught even younger.

Just an FYI, in softball typically if 3B fields the bunt, the catcher will cover third base in this scenario.. . That being said, love the softball breakdowns!

Thanks! Is there any reason the catcher covers instead of the pitcher?

@@antonellisoftball honestly, I don't know 100%. The way it was explained to me is that the catcher is already moving in that direction and since the bases are only 60 feet instead of 90 feet, it's an easier distance to cover. My daughter is a catcher and pretty much every team she has been on, she covers 3B in that situation. She was on a team where P was supposed to cover. However, the pitchers always seemed to fall asleep on the play, so they went back to catcher covering. That being said, I have seen other softball teams have the left fielder sprint in to cover 3B. . . But then there is no back up in case of a bad throw.

@@antonellisoftballPrimarily because if the pitcher has ball in circle any runners who have stopped advancing must retreat or be called out (lookback rule) so you want to be careful where you have your pitcher go.

We teach how it was in the video. Whomever takes the bunt the pitcher or 3b has a shorter distance to 3b. Not a fan of allowing the catcher to have more work running with all that gear. Let catcher stay home. Whomever fields the bunt can back up the catcher after the throw. The one that doesn't field covers 3b.
