Does the 3rd base coach give signal to bunt?

Answer 1

Not often. Most commonly, it is the 3B coach. If it is MLB, the 3B coach gets his signs from the Manager in the dugout. In NCAA, sometimes the Head Coach is at 3B, sometimes he stays in the dugout.

Answer 2

Yes, When there are runners on first and third with one out, the first base runner will have the chance to steal second, if the hitter didn't have a take sign and hits a line drive or shallow pop up then there will be a double play. When there is only one out a catcher usually wont risk the throw to second because the runner on third can score. BUT keep in mind in the big leagues (MLB) this can vary. A runner may not be fast enough to run the ninety feet to second or home. In little league the coach will give him the take a pitch sign, probably up to high school. After high school its a coach's preference and a lot of coaches will let the #4 hitter hit away.
