Major leaguers are not taught to bunt . It goes against the stupidity of the three perfect outcomes (hr, walk, strikeout).

There are only a handful of competent bunters in the league. So. No.

Additionally, with a 26 man roster you should pinch run for the catcher.

As you were prefacing it, I thought you were looking for IBB to load bases to get force out at home.
