For the last 2 years we have used the 1st base stays home with 3rd, P, C covering the bunts method. We have quick pitchers with good throwing arms though, so that helps. So far, ZERO bunts for hits directly due to this style of defense. Not kidding. Some bunts down 3rd or between 3rd and short have reached safely but none up the 1st base line or in front of the plate. But as we move up to 14u and beyond it may not work with how well the girls can bunt and place one. For now we'll stick with it. Also, we have the left fielder charge to cover 3rd if a runner on first and bunt is shown. Again, very successful for us so far. Think we've gotten burned on 1 or 2 due to our left fielder snoozing at the wrong time. But, as many have posted, whatever works best based on the players you have.
