The Mandatory Core

Catcher � Jolt Series Craig Biggio
Biggio is a must-have for any serious bunt lineup. Catchers who combine speed and strong bunting stats are extremely rare. Without him, your 1�9 bunt order will have a glaring weak spot.

Super Utility � Negro Leagues Rap Dixon
Dixon is the Swiss Army knife of your bench. He can cover every infield position, freeing up other bench spots for pure pinch runners with blazing speed.

Top Infield Speedsters & Bunters

Honus Wagner
High-tier cards like 91 OVR or Takashi versions are legendary for bunt squads. Maxed-out physical tools and flawless small-ball ratings make Wagner a core offensive weapon.

Jackie Robinson
His cards consistently offer near-max bunting with elite speed, making him a constant threat on the right side of the infield.

Ozzie Smith
This defensive wizard doubles as a primary bunt weapon thanks to incredible drag bunt execution.

Brian Roberts
The Contributor card (via Orioles Team Affinity) is a budget-friendly gem, perfect for locking down second base with top-tier speed and bunting.

Top Outfield Rabbits

Chandler Simpson (Topps Now / Spotlight)
Simpson�s speed alone makes him a must-have. Add high contact and drag bunt traits, and he becomes a game-breaking threat on the basepaths.

Pete Crow-Armstrong (PCA / Egg Hunt)
A perfect mix of 99 speed and maximum outfield range. Crow-Armstrong can manufacture runs from almost nothing.

Cool Papa Bell
Acquired through Negro Leagues Storylines, Bell�s insane speed forces defensive mistakes every time he touches the bag.

Richie Ashburn
From the Common Courtesy program, Ashburn is a precision drag bunter, ideal for hitting the infield triangle and keeping defenders on their toes.

Corbin Carroll & Elly De La Cruz
Even with slightly lower bunting stats, their 99 speed and 99 stealing ratings make them elite basepath threats. They consistently beat out throws and disrupt defenses.

Strategic Execution Checklist

Angle the Stick: Push the right analog stick toward first base just before the pitch. This angles the bunt away from the third baseman and creates chaos in the infield.

Hide Intentions: Don�t press the bunt button early. Square around late to execute a perfect drag bunt, catching CPU and online opponents off guard.

Extend the Lead: Against the CPU, hold the right trigger, double-tap the left trigger, and tap the left bumper once. Release the right trigger after the pitcher checks the base for 2�3 seconds to secure the perfect jump.

Mastering these players and mechanics will make your bunt cheese lineup unstoppable. Focus on speed, precision, and timing, and watch your opponents crumble while you dominate the basepaths.
