- In this video I talk with Kevin Graber (KG) of Big Blue Baseball on TH-cam and Head Coach of the 11 time State Champs Phillips Academy Andover! KG is literally writing the book on baserunning and in this video I pick his brain about how he uses aggresive baserunning to win so many games. Specifically we chat about the primary lead and how he coaches it to his players. This is video 1 of 5 that we shot together so stay tuned for all of KG's secrets on baserunning because he shared some really great golden nuggets that you should absolutely implement into your program!

🙏🏻 Thanks so much for watching! If you've got any questions or comments about baserunning drills, hop down below and let's chat there!
The biggest problem I see with the “sandlot ball” issue is that nowadays people run kids off of sports complexes and baseball fields because they are afraid of a lawsuit or that the kids are messing up the fields, or whatever. Most every field in our town is gated and locked unless there are games being played. It’s just sad.
I think you have to just go to an open park, maybe it's not an actual baseball diamond, just an open field. The bases are whatever - a shoe, a bag, etc. You just play.
Kids in poorer countries just go out to street and play, like in Cuba and DR.
This is great stuff. The point made about the kids and sandlot ball being a place of learning and how its missed now a days resonated with me. Thank you Coach and YGP!
You totally hit on it, base running is the last thing you see practiced. Thanks for the content!
Baserunning was probably my favorite thing to do as a baseball player. As a coach it was something that we worked on a lot too. I had a team of smaller players with a couple power hitters and we were always looking to take 2B and even 3B more often than not. Taking a lead and getting good jumps is something we practiced a lot as well. I never put a number to it but 12ft does seem about right for a lead size on either diamond (big or small). I'm sure that he will get into it more in another video but it also helps with breaking up double plays, beating out ground balls, and taking free bases on routine plays. I'll definitely be tuning into the next video with KG!
I’m happy that he got promoted but I’m sure going to miss his videos
Waiting on that glove break in video you promised from the 44 pro gloves video
I was just complaining to someone about how there's no "pickup" baseball around here.
Same issue in soccer. In most foreign countries kids just go outside and play without the adults looking over them. Hence why countries like Brazil produce great soccer players.
Same with baseball - kids in Cuba and Dominican Republic will play baseball in the street using anything they have around as bases and balls and bats.
But now, it is far to reliant on adults to organize and supervise and transport kids around.
Can’t wait for the rest of the videos in this series
Great video. I would just be curious if a players height/length would be a factor in the 12’. If a 5’7” player can get 12’ could a 6’2” player get 13’. Basically what I’m asking is 12’ the baseline measurement no matter height or quickness of the player? Awesome stuff
Hi Jonathan! Our best dive-back guys are shorter, more athletic types. Tall guys? Not so much. We find that it sort of evens out.
3:59 that “quick move” can be used against his lead since his feet are leaving the ground so much tbh.
Premeditated pick works against this too.... if you get picked taking your initial lead you aren't paying attention...
@yougoprobaseball. Question: what is your take on small town baseball vs large city baseball. In terms of thr best impact /opportunity for a player overall. Most small towns have 1 high-school and less resources vs city have more than 3 high-schools academys and resources everywhere. Or just play where you can make it? Sometimes small town struggle to big city competition or sometimes small-towns pack a big 👊 punch.
Idk where you’re from but I’m from Saskatchewan in Canada and I have noticed even though they have less resources small town teams tend to be better than big city teams simply because there’s more passion from the coaches and kids and it means a lot to their town when they win. Big city teams seem like they don’t care about winning and there’s less passion

Shuffling- getting 2 feet off the ground?! Never a very good idea.
As a pitcher I loved seeing guys shuffle. Never ever have two feet off the ground.
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and defeated death and rose from it three days later spread the gospel I am not forcing you but I don’t want you guys to go to hell please do this
