Baseball Running Drills

Duane sent me these suggestions for baseball running drills.  I’ve included it here for you to try with your team–a great baserunning drill!

From Duane…
Double steal drill.

Set up the players in two groups.

One at first and one at second. Each bag will have two throw down bags along with the real bag. The players on second will either stay or go on the “pitcher’s” move to home.

The runners from first have to read what the runner in front of them has done and either follow up the back end of the double steal or advance to secondary lead and hold. The key is to concentrate on the runner at the same line as you are.

The real bag reads the real bag. The middle throw down reads the middle throwdown at second, etc.

This focuses a key baserunning drill.
