Question
Guest Nick
No outs R1 on 2b. BR lays down what is to be a sac bunt. F1 fields bunt but elects to throw to F5 covering. R1 safe at 3b. BR running hard and rounds 1b as play at 3b is being made. F5 asleep at the switch and BR takes 2b. Has BR's Fielder's Choice just become a Base Hit by taking 2b on the same play?

No. And being asleep at the switch isn't an error either. FC all the way

To our guest Nick, it is not a base hit as you describe the scenario and it is not a fielder’s choice—the batter receives credit for a sacrifice by rule: 9.08 Sacrifices The official scorer
