Bunts
Drag Bunt for a Hit, No Runners
Bunt → 1B/P fields → 2B covers first

Key point
On a drag bunt, whoever fields it must know the second baseman is covering first — the flip goes there, on time and on target.
Drill
Roll drag bunts on the first-base side; the pitcher and first baseman call it out and the second baseman beats the runner to the bag.
Watch for
The pitcher and first baseman both fielding it — one calls 'ball, ball, ball,' the other peels off to cover.
