So you are in agreement that Sac Bunt is pretty much synonymous with Squeeze Bunt in this situation. Bunt for Hit implies trying to get on base whereas Sacrifice Bunt / Squeeze Bunt mean just being able to get the bat on the ball and place it in such a manner as to move a runner up a base. Makes sense.
Next question: Say a batter has a decent Sac Bunt rating but a relatively low Contact rating. Do you still trust this batter to attempt a squeeze play bunt?
