“But coach, can we just take BP and ground balls today?” The little things matter!!

Baserunning is not about being fast. It’s about being smart. It’s about being aggressive. It’s about anticipating. It’s about being fearless. It’s about listening to both the ball and the defense. It’s a weapon, if you care enough to make it one.
