Base Path Series
Lead-offs depend on factors such as experience and confidence, plus your ability to react to pick-off attempts and passed balls, and your general attitude on the base path.

But there are some techniques that should be common to all base runners. Use these as a starting point and adjust to your own comfort level. Also be aware of what your coach is likely to expect from you.

Some coaches expect their players to be bigger risk takers than they should be.
While other coaches get upset when too much aggression runs your team out of a potential big inning.
