Runner at First. First back Option 1 Defense

With a runner on first, this is our First-Back Bunt Defense — Option 1. Designed for slap or right-side hitters, the shortstop stays home to cover third while the second baseman takes steals and throws to second. The pitcher must be a strong fielder, handling bunts on the right side as both corners crash. Communication and structure are key — InMotion Playbooks: Every player moving on every pitch.
