| A player’s bunt ability is measured by the Bunting (Bunts/Runs) rating found on the right side of the batter card. Bunts may be Ex (Excellent), Vg (Very Good), Av (Average), Fr (Fair) or Pr (Poor), and Runs a numerical value called the bunter’s runner rating used to resolve close plays at first. | A player’s bunting ability is measured by the Bunting (InPlay/Bunts/Runs) ratings found on the right side of the batter card. The "InPlay" rating is a percentile value measuring the ability to place the bunt in fair territory. The "Bunts" rating indicates the skill of placing the bunt and may be Ex (Excellent), Vg (Very Good), Av (Average), Fr (Fair) or Pr (Poor). The "Runs" rating is the bunter’s runner rating used to resolve close plays at first. |

| The offensive manager may inform the defense a bunt is possible before the dice roll, or surprise announce a bunt as dice are rolled. The defensive manager may play his infield in or at the corners, but must do this before the dice roll. See the BUNTING CHARTS for fielder and batter adjustments. With no runners on base, you may bunt for a hit. With men on, all bunts are considered sacrifice attempts. A bunt is considered a suicide squeeze with a runner on third. With runners on the corners, the offensive manager may attempt to bunt the runner on first to second (consider him to be the lead runner) while holding the runner at third. If a wild throw occurs, the runner advances further on the error. | The offensive manager may inform the defense a bunt is possible before the dice roll, or surprise announce a bunt as dice are rolled. The defensive manager may play his infield in or at the corners, but must do this before the dice roll. See the BUNTING CHARTS for fielder and batter adjustments. With runners on base the offensive manager must declare whether the batter is attempting to sacrifice or bunt for a base hit. A batter who is sacrificing receives a +20 bonus to his "InPlay" rating at the expense of a -2 adjustment to his runner rating. |

| Use the player’s Bunting rating, the playing surface, dice rolls, and KEY to determine the result. For example, Derek Jeter is at the plate with Bubba Crosby on first at Yankee Stadium. The defense is at normal depth when Jeter (Ex bunt rating) attempts a bunt. You roll one die for location (2) and two dice for the result (79) which is a Close Play at first base for the third baseman. You roll 1 die (0) for Jeter’s bunter’s runner rating of 1. Jeter beats it out for a bunt single and Crosby advances to second. If the third basemen had been playing in (-2 to running rating), Jeter would have been out at first and a sacrifice successful instead. | A bunt is considered a suicide squeeze with a runner on third.

If a wild throw occurs, the runner on third advances home on the error. |

| | For example, Jose Reyes (bunt ratings 64/Ex/1) is at the plate with Charlie Blackmon (3 baserunning) on first base. The defense is at normal depth when the offensive team announces that Reyes is attempting a sacrifice bunt. You first roll two dice (51) and determine that Reyes is able to bunt fair (less than his InPlay rating +20 for sacrificing). The you roll one die for location (2) and two dice for the result (79) which is a Close Play at first base for the third baseman. You would roll 1 die (0) to see if Reyes can beat out the throw. Because Reyes was sacrificing the -2 adjustment to his bunt running rating means that he cannot beat out the throw. However, if he was attempting to bunt for a hit and there were no other adjustments then the 0 would be less than Reyes' running rating and he would reach safely with a bunt single. If the bunt result instead had been LB? then there would be a possible play on Blackmon at 2nd base. The defense would have the option to retire Reyes at 1st or attempt to force out Blackmon at 2nd. |
