Short Summary
- The video is led by Ken Bolick, director of the IMG Baseball Academy, focusing on base running techniques.
- Ken is joined by strength and speed coach Blaine Bott and two high school players, Alfredo Escalera and Hutton Moyer.
- Three key speed mechanical drills are introduced to enhance base running performance.
- The first drill emphasizes arm action, with Hutton practicing sitting on the ground and pulling his arms through without hitting the ground.
- This drill aims to develop fast arm movements, correlating with leg speed.
- The second drill, called the wall drill, focuses on leg action, where Hutton positions himself with his heel on the ground and brings his knee up.
- This drill enhances stride frequency and leg extension while ensuring proper shin angle and toe positioning.
- The final segment combines both arm and leg actions, encouraging quick knee lifts and efficient movement.
- The aim is to reduce the number of steps taken between bases while maintaining power and strength.
- Ken concludes by encouraging players to maximize their running potential through hard work and smart training.
