Learn from Others...Billy Hamilton's speed is impressive - More impressive is his ability to anticipate and be ready to tag. Up a few runs, this is good base running.
Ichiro somehow scores... the relay throws are excellent - the catcher however drops to his knees, allowing the runner to score:
Aybar's heads up base running. Watch how he waits for the outfielder to commit to a throw, and then takes off... (On a second note, he didn't hesitate in getting up after sliding into second... great base running.

Videos...These are training tips and ideas I'd like you to work on... Everyone should come prepared ready work... doing pushups will help build upper body strength and strength in the core (abs, back) both essential in baseball.
I'd like everyone to be able to do at least 20 pushups. You would do this one below with a baseball... do it a lot to build muscle... you'll feel it in your legs (not your back) if done properly
I like the 3rd and 4th drills with the backhands (about 1:00 into the video) But do all of them often...
