I know this board is for hitting - but I have a boy that can crush a ball - he is money when it comes to moving a runner or scoring a runner, but he cannot run. I am looking for tips on teaching youth players the correct running techniques for baseball. Easy tips or drills for increasing speed. This player runs on heels & straight up, I have noticed his lack of speed compared to other players has become a problem for him this year & I would like to be able to help him ASAP. He is 12yr old & med. build. Thanks for any help or websites that might help.
