About This Trend
Squeeze play (スクイズ) is a tactical maneuver in baseball where a batter bunts the ball with the intention of advancing a runner, typically from third base, to score a run. This strategy involves the batter sacrificing an out to allow the runner to reach home plate.
The squeeze play is currently trending due to its increased usage and high-profile successes in recent professional baseball games, particularly in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). The strategic risks and rewards of this play have sparked widespread discussion among fans, analysts, and players, highlighting its impact on game outcomes. .
