How to Run the Bases in Softball with Mike Candrea

[@kiarab.1662]

Thank you soooo much for sharing!! This is my daughter’s 2nd yr playing softball & she’s 12 now. Changed schools & softball is REALLY big there. I saw how behind she was! She has come so far this season due to having coaches like you. They’re teaching the game & not just hitting/catching, unlike last year! I’m gonna show her this so she can get a better understanding of base running. I didn’t play the game so I never knew that softball was so much fun!!! Hate I missed out but I’m so grateful to get her exposed to it now!!!

[@bretdegayner8934]

On the segment about how she faces after a hit to right, it takes her about four seconds to get back to first. Couldn't she make it to second base by then? Thanks

What age are you starting off at? You know its better to start young. At a certain point even if you are pkaying rec ball 14 year olds are not gonna be something that you want to start off on. So Im hoping your between 6-9

How many bases are in softball

[@RndomGye016]

This is teaching me good

[@rumblehat4357]

Can anyone answer this: which type of lead at first should a player use? Does it depend on personal choice, or does it depend on the hitters side of the plate they are on? For example, would someone take a ready stance fully in fair territory if the batter is right handed, or would a runner take a stance half in foul territory if the batter is left handed? Or is it just personal comfort? I see a lot of runners stay with their back foot in foul territory regardless of which side of the plate the batter is on. Is it wiser to be partially in foul territory if the batter is left handed to avoid possibly being hit by a batted ball, or is it more beneficial to be "one step closer" to second thinking the ball will be hit to the first base side?

[@juanitatorres5960]

to be honest I tend to get as close to second as possible, if the catcher throws down to first to go to second having a better chance to being safe also I'm one base closer to home. to me it doesnt really matter what side the batter is on, it kinda matters on speed to, if your more of a slow player it would be smart to stay closer to first and you're more fast then try to get as wide as possible. (sorry if I didn't answer your question the way I should have I just wanted to show my way of taking leads at first)

[@alissawestbrook5294]

Why do they have to like get off first base and then go in the middle when he was saying bounce bounce

[@stookiegrace1253]

Westbrook6789 7 it's called a lead off. Helps you gets ahead whenever the ball is hit. It's in baseball too

[@brettrimkus5311]

Its just to keep their feet moving so you are not flat footed

[@sin594]

Westbrook6789 7 if you play softball then you should know why but if not then why did you ever bother to watch this video

[@madison3526]

Softball hater

[@alissawestbrook5294]

Senyce H because maybe I wanted to learn so that’s why I watched this video but I don’t see how you would know that

[@ewilsonheritage]

The lead on third, the only thing I am not liking is the coming back to third in foul territory. Come back up the line will force a throw from the catcher to be off or will hit you. I don't much care for his logic on this, everything else is spot on.

[@oe9473]

You stand on foul territory because if you get hit with the ball on the inside of the foul line you are considered out but if you are in foul territory and it hits you you aren’t considered out

[@msmatthe88]

Yeah, he is wrong on that one. You would turn back to the line and if the catcher throws dive to the outside corner. Same as baseball. This forces the throw to the field side resulting in a longer tagging motion. He’s also not using logic on running in foul ground on a tag up. You take a direct path the the foul side of the plate. You wouldn’t intentionally make third to home 65 feet instead of 60.

[@msmatthe88]

@@oe9473 this is only true of a batted ball. He is referring to returning to the bag on a pickoff throw from the catcher.

[@al3al3]

When do you know when To run?

[@madimoore17]

Alexandra Garcia for base running or when you hit the ball ??

[@meaganruliffson5482]

When you hit the ball you run right away but if you are on a base and you are deciding to run look at your third base coach and if he is yelling at you to go you have to go but if he is not looking at you or saying stay stay

[@al3al3]

Meagan Ruliffson Thanks

[@bella-roseheron9833]

If your on a base you run as soon as the pitcher lets go of the ball

[@klglenn5109]

Okay so you run when the pitcher releases the ball. You are considered out if you run before the pitchers pitches. So once that pitcher releases the ball you take your lead. If that catcher misses the ball then you are gone to the next base. And you keep doing that until you are in scoring position to get a run for your team😎. Now if your talking about when you run from the beginning...then the answer to that it you run when you hit the ball as soon as you hit the ball you are running to first base.

[@gracielacaruso7794]

I still don't get when do u stop at a base

[@HeyEveryoneHi]

grace's world yeah me too

[@laceygross8883]

You don't. ok so say that u were running to first base u would go to first base then u would keep going forwards then u would turn around then get back to ur base u want to go a little past the foul line past first base but not on the grass

[@gracielacaruso7794]

Lacey Gross thx

[@xxisareixx]

grace's world i do. You stop at first(second, or third) base. You dont stop running when the other team is trying to get the ball. I only played softball for 6-7 weeks.

[@iamironman2963]

Lacey Gross why? When do we stop running? How do we know? When do we know when to run?

[@blaiscross5739]

[@bigdzzzy]

I agree with most of what Coach has to say, you missed out on the opportunity to talk about deep fly balls when on 1B and how far you should get off base depending on what part of field it’s hit and how deep. Also don’t agree with leading off of 3rd in foul yes but coming back in foul no. I don’t want to give 5he catcher an open lane to throw the runner out. Going back in foul territory gives the catcher a wide open throwing lane even though they are farther away from a tag. I rather close off the throwing lane

[@mia-cf6bc]

Melissa, my love, I miss you dearly. How are you? It’s truly been awhile, or maybe that’s just the knowledge that you’ve moved on getting to me. Please come back.

[@user-ox7lx6yi7i]

I totally disagree with the way it is being taught to lead off. You really should square your shoulder like a fielder with your left foot on the inside of the bag to push off with and then you turn and run like a sprinter like in a leadoff in baseball. I could be two steps ahead of anyone leading off like you are teaching.
