You are correct that they did not SH. And I don't suspect either will in my league, despite what I did with the ratings -- though I would certainly notice if it happened.
Fair enough. I don't believe OOTP9 keeps stats on bunt hits, which is too bad. I guess I was misled by your OP which seemed to focus on SH.

SH are a strategic AI decision. Bunting for a hit has some AI strategy to it but is really a player skill that can be substantially affected by the player strategy settings (set to override). Have you looked at that?
