There aren't any "hitter's settings" for pitchers' hitting. However, what you can do is set your team strategy for bunting to "aggressive". Then, if there are batters that you really don't want to bunt, then you could use the "hitters settings" page to click on "don't bunt" for those particular batters.
That way, your team (and therefore hopefully your pitchers also) will bunt more, but the regular batters wouldn't bunt more if they are set for "don't bunt".
I often play a "small ball" team strategy. In my experience, the settings described above usually result in pitchers bunting in most situations where bunting is logical.
You should also note that there ARE individualized bunting ratings for each pitcher. They appear on the pitchers card, near the top right of the card. To the extent that your pitchers are good bunters, they will generally bunt more, and vice versa, I believe.
