  • Special Base Running Situations
    Special Base Running Situations 1. Situation: The base runners responsibility on the hit and run Some coaches want the runner to shorten his lead and not worry about a great jump. They feel it is the batters job to make contact. Their reasoning is if the batter doesn’t put the bat on the ball the base runner is “hung out to dry”. The base runner should be conditioned that when the hit and run us on he is trying to steal the base. The only difference is after his third step he needs to take a good look at the batter to pick up the flight on the ball and make the necessary reaction. The only true exception to this is for the pitcher that has a great move to 1st base and it is difficult to steal 2nd base. In this situation the base runner breaks to 2nd only when he knows the pitcher is delivering the ball to home plate. If the base runner can’t pick up where the baseball was hit he should look directly at the 3rd base coach. The coach shouldn’t YELL at the base runner, but arm signal him what he wants him to do. For some reason many players loose there sense of hearing when they are running full speed. The coach should point back to 1st base if the ball was hit in the air and he wants him to return, arm circle signal if he wants the base runner to advance to 3rd base, or point to 2nd base if he wants the base runner to stay there.

  • Safe Zone – I Will Reference 90' Bases (A Little Math for 75')
    Safe Zone – I will reference 90’ bases (a little math for 75’) “safe zone” or “zone” – term used for BASE RUNNING It refers to how far off base you can be and still return safely if a play is made to you Examples: o If I hit a single to the outfield, run through 1B and round the base, I can probably be: . 35’ off 1B if LF has the ball . 30’ off 1B if CF has ball . 15’ off 1B if RF has ball o Conversely, if I’m bluffing a tag from 3B on a fly to the outfield, I can probably be: . 15’ off 3B if LF has ball . 30’ off 3B is CF has ball . 35’ off 3B if RF has ball Don’t stay attached to a base if the ball isn’t near you. If the defense makes a mistake, better that you are 70’ away from the next base than 90’ Your base running philosophy should be, “I’m taking the next base until the defense stops me,” not “I’ll take the next base if the defense gives it to me” Understanding and implementing the “safe zone” philosophy is probably the biggest factor in making you a good runner. Home to 1B Mechanics After hitting the ball, you want to become a runner as soon as possible o Body lean forward o Short steps to reach maximum speed o Elbows remain close to body o Arms pumping (not across the body) o Knee pumping (critical for 90’ speed) o Quick peek to see if ball went through IF o At 40’ line you must be in foul territory o Eyes on target (1B), and o Watch 1B coach .
