    Decision Making:
  • If the 3rd Baseman fields the ball he will probably want to take the force out at first base.
  • The 3rd baseman will probably not be able to pivot around and make an accurate throw in time to third base to get the lead runner.
  • Unless the ball is bunted hard down the third baseline.

    Decision Making:
  • If the pitcher fields the ball he may have a shot at the lead runner since he is already facing 3rd base.
  • The pitcher should make his decision quickly.
  • However, if there is any hesitation he should take the out at first base.
