Garrett Hampson’s bunting and speed make him Rockies most-versatile threat

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Sunday afternoon, Rockies roadrunner Garrett Hampson dropped a perfect bunt down the third-base line, catching the Cub’s Kris Bryant by surprise for a no-throw single.

In the fifth, Hampson noticed Bryant shuffling toward home, so Hampson attacked a 2-1 pitch, scooting it down the line for a double.

“I have a green light to bunt, that’s part of my game,” Hampson said. “I saw Bryant cheating up on the grass and I was able to drive one by him. Being able to bunt moves defenses around and it plays to my favor, for sure.
