- base running. Teach them how to run through the bag. Then teach them how to round 1st. Teach them to angle around 3rd. How to tag up. How to get a secondary jump.


This especially. In that age group, we won a ton of games with base running. It's the great equalizer when you don't have a lot of talent. And it cost our 12 year olds this past weekend. We have a few new guys that have never led off before and got caught stealing multiple times due to bad jumps. Definitely fixable but when one of your fastest kids can't steak 2nd with a lead, there's some work that needs to be done.
