Read-the-Pitcher Drill: Get a Great Jump by Reading the First Move
Train your eyes to read a pitcher's first move — heel, knee, and lead-foot tells — so you start toward the next base the instant he commits home and never on a guess.
⏱ ~12 min📋 4 rounds of 5-6 reads, mixing deliveries and pickoffs
What you'll need
- Pitcher or coach on the mound
- Base or throw-down bag
- Catcher and second base (for the full-steal progression)
