Preferred plate adjustment when blocked in the slot?

Not really a point of view, the name is the description of the act. The "drag bunt" is the act of the LH batter stepping toward the right-front of the box and pulling or dragging the ball with them down the 1st line. It is more prevalent in baseball with a LH pitcher and a runner on 1B.

Because it gives the BR a walking start like on a slap, it allows for the possibility of the BR staying ahead of the ball and hopefully force a throw to 1B instead of an easy tag.
