Runner at Third, First Back Bunt Defense

With a runner on third, the First-Back Bunt Defense keeps the first baseman home while the pitcher takes responsibility for bunts up the middle and to the right side. This setup is ideal against power hitters who can drive the ball to the right side or when you want a strong fielding pitcher handling bunt coverage.
Corners charge hard, the catcher stays home for the tag, and middle infielders hold structure with clear rotation and backup responsibilities. Precision, communication, and quick decisions protect the plate and keep the run from scoring.
