Episode 14 - Coach RAC's 5 Tips for Base Stealing

Welcome back fellow Headbangers to another exciting video from Coach RAC! In today's episode, Coach RAC discusses his 5 Tips for Base Stealing.
1. Stay loose.
If we tense up, we won’t be as explosive. Make sure we stay loose as we get our lead and ANTICIPATE the leg lift with a relaxed body.
2. Stop looking at the pitcher's feet!
We as a runner shouldn’t steal until the pitcher lifts his foot, but if we Look at their knees. In my experience, sometimes it’s easier to see the knees faster than the feet! With some pitchers we can even see the shoulders the quickest. You see, once a pitcher moves the knee, the foot has to follow.
3. Stay low in the drive phase
The drive phase is basically the first few steps. We want to stay low and not stand up too quickly.
4. Look at target
If we keep our head down the whole way, this will likely result in a sub-optimal path. After you have driven with your first few steps, take a look to make sure you are going in a straight line to the base.
5. Always slide!
