Unpopular Opinion: Bunting Is an Offensive Force

One rarely sees a bunt in the major leagues, but you're more likely to see bunts happen in high school and college. 

I saw some figure a while back that the on-base-percentage in college baseball with bunts to third base is something like .700. 

I can't find that percentage now, but I did find a tweet by Tyler Rost, the Director of Player Development at Duke, that provides this percentage: "The batting average across D1 baseball on all drag bunts is .533 (Trumedia). There are a LOT of hits down the third base line." 

My son's JV baseball team this season had a game in which they bunted successfully three times in a row and had a big inning because of those bunts. 

There's an old saying that "Chicks dig the long ball." 

However, the bunt is an underused weapon in the game of baseball.
