I don't believe bunting for a hit will become more prevalent in Baseball for three reasons.

1) It's only used if the bases are empty (otherwise it's a sacrifice).
2) It's difficult to execute, and even when done well, it requires world class speed to beat out.
3) Barring an error, it can only result in a single, while if a batter swings through, even a weak hitter has a chance for extra bases.
