1ST & 3RD PLAY
This situation is one that we do at the high school level and it works rather well. We have about a 99% success rate.
With runners on 1st and 3rd, we call a fake bunt and squeeze. We let our runner on first steal. The third base coach yells something to tell the runner at third to break for the squeeze. This gets the defense rattled a bit. Our batter squares and pulls back as our runner from third stops and the runner from first steals.
This is difficult to defend becuase you don't know which play to defend. Of course, later in the game, you can squeeze in the same situation.
