[WolfFrost]

S-Tier “Bunt Cheese” Lineup
These are the very best players at each position, optimized for speed, bunting, and meta performance:

• Catcher ©: Craig Biggio (Jolt Series)
  One of the few catchers who can legitimately bunt effectively. With 85+ Drag Bunt and above-average speed, he avoids grounding out behind the plate.
  
• First Base (1B): Rod Carew (Milestone/Awards)
  An 87+ drag bunt rating combined with lightning-fast left-handed sprints makes him a strong force from the batter’s box.
  
• Second Base (2B): Brian Roberts (Team Affinity)
  Maxed-out 99 Drag Bunt and high speed, giving switch-hitters a reliable option up the middle.
  
• Third Base (3B): Honus Wagner or William “Judy” Johnson
  Wagner shines with 99 Drag Bunt and 99 Speed, putting constant pressure on the infield.
  
• Shortstop (SS): Ozzie Smith
  A defensive wizard who also features 99 Drag Bunt and top-tier speed from both sides of the plate.
  
• Left Field (LF): Lou Brock or Jackie Robinson
  Robinson brings 94+ overall stats, 99 Drag Bunt, and aggressive base-running quirks for maximum pressure.
  
• Center Field (CF): Richie Ashburn or Cool Papa Bell
  Both feature 99 Drag Bunt and 99 Speed, making them nearly impossible to throw out on directional push bunts.
  
• Right Field (RF): Pete Crow-Armstrong (Egg Hunt / Spotlight) or Chandler Simpson (Topps Now)
  With 96+ Drag Bunt and 99 Speed, these guys are the fastest on the field and perfect for aggressive bunting.
  
• Designated Hitter (DH): Buck O’Neil
  Maintains 95 Drag Bunt with a long stride, allowing him to beat out close plays to first.

Key Tips for Perfect Drag Bunts

1. Directional Pushing
   Push the right analog stick toward the second baseman just as the pitcher releases. This pulls the first baseman off the bag for an easier hit.
   
2. Late Release Trick
   Tap and hold the bunt button slightly after pitch release. Too early triggers a normal sacrifice, letting defenders react faster.
   
3. Prioritize Left-Handed Batters
   LHBs finish their swing closer to first base, saving precious milliseconds and increasing success rates.
