I\u2019m a former college baseball player and CoachUp coach &#8212; and this is stealing. It\u2019s important to learn how to steal bases because it puts you that much closer to home plate and winning the game. When stealing a base, it\u2019s important to get yourself a proper lead. A proper lead will determine how far you can get off that base in order to get back safely. So each lead could be different depending on how strong the pitcher is on picking off. You\u2019re gonna start off your lead on the back half of the base, while stepping out with your left foot and bringing the right foot around.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re gonna take half steps for the rest of your lead making sure that the feet are in contact with the ground at all times. You\u2019re gonna keep an eye on the pitcher\u2019s back foot. That has to move first before anything else does. If the pitcher\u2019s snap goes over here, you\u2019re going to dive head first back to the outside half of the bag. If anything else moves and he goes to the plate, you\u2019re gonna take off for the next base.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How To Steal A Base Transcription: &#8220;Hi, my name is Clint Chalk.
