Never said otherwise..other than to say sac bunting is stupid most of the time..Definitely do not think that strategy is always a numerical equation.

Just a post to the discussion,Never said otherwise..other than to say sac bunting is stupid most of the time..
Even though I played D1 with some really elite players. We had to face the best of the best pitchers. That was an element that challenged getting hits.
Care to share those numbers?And before you bemoan the differences between MLB and fastpitch, we have analytics on fastpitch and the math is pretty much the same story.
Again, the run expectancy charts which tell you that sac. bunting is dumb in most cases are similar for college fastpitch and MLB..bunting for a basehit, etc what you say may be true.Comparing MLB and the fastpitch we are talking about on this board is ludicrous. Laughable.
I don't see many people saying that using small ball to get on base in fastpitch is bad idea in many circumstancesFastpitch is very different than MLB. Start with the bases - 60 feet apart. In MLB, the fielder can get away with a bobble. Not in fastpitch. If a left handed fastpitch batter with speed hammers the ball into the ground and it bounces high, it’s almost indefensible. If the 1B crashes on bunts and the 2B covers, all the batter has to do is show bunt and the right side of the infield is open. You have to actually bunt once in a while to make the threat real, though. There are many more examples of effective bunt strategy in fastpitch that don’t apply in MLB.
