Pitcher Bunting

March 08, 2011 at 10:58PM View BBCode

During some of my recent research, I took a look at pitchers bunting in the MLB. I've tweaked the numbers in the engine to match these. It is barely enough to mention, but there will be a few more singles, a few less force outs at 2nd, and a few less Double plays. I've added a new event, popping out a bunt which didn't happen before.

In general, there will be fewer successful sac bunts with some of those going into the singles bucket and some going into the pop out bucket.

I have data on how often pitchers strikeout while bunting, but I'm going to ignore that for now and continue to have the category of aborting bunts with 2 strikes.
