The ideal player to back up the third baseman is typically a versatile infielder, such as a shortstop or second baseman, who has good range and quick reflexes. This player should be agile and have a strong arm to effectively field any errant throws or ground balls that may come their way. Additionally, having a player familiar with the third base position can enhance communication and teamwork during defensive plays.

What are the coverage responsibilities of each infielder on a bunt with no outs and a runner at third base?
The first baseman should stay close to the bag but out a little more then usual so incase she needs to run back to the bag to get an out if the ball in thrown in her derection to get an out. The second baseman shouldcome up from her position too. More then the first baseman should because if there's just a runner on first and a batter then there is no need for a second bas out. The short-stop should come up more as well. I the ball comes to her she can either get the out at first or at home or if the runner goes for home but decides to go back then she can get the runner out at third base. The third baseman should go up but still stay by her bag more like the first basemen. She should be ready for the throw to home or an out at third if the girl changes her mind about coming back from home to third. Stay close to the bag but out too so it will be easier to throw the third base runner out at home so the other team won't score.

Why does the 1st baseman not get the ball after an out in around the horn in the majors?
In Major League Baseball, the "around the horn" play typically involves the third baseman throwing the ball to the shortstop, who then throws it to the second baseman before it goes back to the pitcher. The first baseman does not receive the ball after an out during this sequence because the play is designed to quickly return the ball to the pitcher while covering all bases. The first baseman's role is primarily to field ground balls and catch throws from other players, rather than being involved in this particular rotation. Additionally, the ball is often thrown around the infield to build momentum and keep the game flowing, with the first baseman's position being less central in this specific play.
