Show Notes
We go back on the base paths as we connect with the coaching staff at Fordham University in head coach Kevin Leighton and assistant coach Rob DiToma. Fordham led all of NCAA Division I in stolen bases a year ago with 169 did so with an impressive 78 percent success clip. We invite Leighton and DiToma to detail out the decision to make base running a priority for the Rams offense, how it worked in bringing this aggressive approach into their practice plan and the details around the drills, setups, coaching cues they offer their players. We dive into how this looks in game, how is it communicated between players and especially coach-to-player, plus a look at how our listeners could introduce this into the fall, build throughout winter training and enhance during their training with their seasons. This episode is packed with tremendous insight that can help any program looking to diversify their offense and bring this mindset and plan to their respective plans to score more runs.
