Dude. You have the fastest guy in the conference and a good bunter at the plate in a tie game with men on first and second with 1 out in the 8th inning wasn't it? YOU BUNT EVERY MOTHER ******** TIME!!! Any other time I agree I hate bunting.


You would really have to feel your individual match-up percentages overwhelm the overall probabilities. Because the probability on scoring that one run drops off a ton from 1&2 one out v 2&3 two outs. It's like a 40 percent drop in probability.

And whether or not the batter is a good bunter is irrelevant to these metrics. They usually assume 100% of the time the bunt is laid down.

If you want to add how good the bunter is to the discussion it actually helps the don't bunt argument because no one is 100‰

You'd also have to add in how good he is as a hitter, too. Lots of dynamics to get it as accurate as possible.
