On the bunt coverage 15(third baseman is crashing in) so what is Shortstops responsibility?
cover second base
Cover third base.
If there are runners on first and second base, the pitcher could potentially throw the ball to third base to get the lead out. If the batter lays down a well-placed bunt down the third base line, the third baseman must aggressively charge in to field it. After securing the ball, they can execute a pump fake to first, potentially catching the runner at third too far off the bag. A well-timed throw back to third could result in a crucial out.
