Base Stealing: Steal Off The Pitcher Not The Catcher
An coaching guide on baserunning basics. It stresses reading pitcher habits and catcher strength, starting on a moving lead, staying on the balls of the feet, and using a quick first step. It advises sliding correctly with a hook slide, avoiding headfirst slides, and prioritizing stealing second while noting risks of third and home. It also covers signs from coaches, awareness of other runners, and the need for intelligent hustle and practice.
