I would make the same assumption since there have been plenty of players in MLB with a career low batting average (low contact) but were very good at bunting. In the very few times where i could see using a squeeze play then I would likely just base my decision on the speed on 3rd base along with the sac bunting ability of the batter at the plate. Maybe also taking into consideration how good the defense is at 1st & 3rd. I don't believe in bunting much though so this almost never comes up for me.
