Is there anyway to determine if a batter will be a successful bunter? I can't find it in the player stats. I know it is a relatively insignificant stat, but it would help me draft better for an 80 million "small ball" team I am working on based around stolen bases, low strikeouts, low hr's, high avg. Would help move those runners along.
Of course this is assuming it is factored into the sim.Not talking about # of bunt hits, which is probably a factor of speed, but instead stats like Bunts in Play (BIP), % of runners advanced on sac bunt attempts, and BIP/Bunt Attempts. In real like - Brett Gardner is going to get more runners advanced on the same number of bunt attempts than David Ortiz - but I have no idea if the simulation knows this.
Any thoughts?
