    Baserunning "Big Men"

    I am trying to teach my baseball team that baserunning is not only about speed but being observant and taking an extra base (first to third on a single).

    Who do you think are some of the best Big Guy base runners. I know Ryan Howard is pretty good for being a big guy. Who else?

    Would David Wright be considered a big man?

      Miguel Cabrera runs the bases very well in my opinion. He was 2nd in Baseball last year in going 1st to 3rd on a single.

            Very important fundamental topic. Be sure to show them how to slide away from the base or plate to avoid the defender or tag, as well.

              These are 6th grade boys. I want them to realize that half of baserunning is speed (which for the most part is God given and I can't do much to help there), but the other part is being observant. Getting an extra step lead and then a secondary lead will often be the difference of being safe or being able to take an extra base. Using people they look up to can sometimes help them believe.

                Pujols is another bigger player that is a great base runner. He is great on the bases.
                I collect St. Louis Cardinal's cards.
