Agree, no back up is a bad situation. Just curious, do you have ss cover 3rd on the bunt with a runner on first and give up the potential force at second? Or do you use the catcher as I have seen. It takes an athletic catcher to do this.
If my 3rd baseman fields the bunt, by catcher covers. Why, because she is already moving in that directions. 3rd goes to cover home after the throw. This keeps my pitcher out of harms way and both players are moving in their natural progression.
I don't think it takes an athletic catcher, it takes practice and drilling to make it successful.
If my catcher fields the bunt, third base will return to cover with the runner on first.
It's a matter of teaching the girls to use their communications skills in a strong voice so all players are aware of who is taking the bunt.
