Bunting
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2020 8:03 am
I built a couple of bunt heavy teams that had success recently:

https://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/1536057
Both teams had excellent records. Both teams had every single player set to BUNT MORE on the hitter settings and the team was set to VERY AGGESSIVE.
So with those very extreme settings, how many times did they actually attempt a sacrifice bunt in the 162 game regular season????
Between them they averaged about 1.1 bunts per game.
Which makes me think this whole don't have your good hitters ever bunt is probably overblown.
Thoughts???
