Baserunning is not about being fast.
It’s about being smart. It’s about being aggressive. It’s about anticipating. It’s about being fearless. It’s about listening to both the ball and the defense.
It’s a weapon, if you care enough to make it one.

Even the very best players in world aren’t good enough to rely solely on their talent. When you learn how to constantly watch the game and think the game, you put yourself in the best position to play the game well.
GLOVE ANGLE: a tiny detail that makes a big difference. It’s a non-teach for most but should be a must-teach for all.
With the fingers down, palm facing the plate, the glove is as big as possible. When infielders catch raindrops, they are making a small glove, smaller. #STdrills
