Runner at 1st Base – First Back Bunt Defense (Option 1)
With a runner on first and the infield in the First Back bunt coverage. The first baseman holds their ground at first and covers the bag. The third baseman charges hard to field the bunt, while the shortstop rotates over to cover third base.  The pitcher is responsible for bunts toward the right side, while the second baseman rotates to cover second base. This alignment ensures that all bases remain protected while still defending against the bunt.
