Coaches, here's our #Dbacks practicing rounding 3rd during Spring Training.
Notice two key points:
1-Coach on bag with bat encouraging hitting the corner.
2-Coach standing on the edge of the grass line encouraging staying on the dirt lane.

Base Running 101. Take the inside lane and hit the corner closest to the pitcher with the right foot to drive towards the next base.

Special hint: When rounding 3rd, stay in the dirt lane of the base path. #DbacksAcademy

Base running is a great place in the schedule for conditioning! No better way to learn and build performance!!! Just Keep an eye on the volume!
