Softball Base Running Tips - Hustle

1. It doesn't take any talent to hustle. Run on and off the field. Run out all ground balls and pop-ups. Hustle will set a player apart

2. Explode out of the box. The instant you hit the ball and release the bat, drive your right arm forward as you push off the left leg if you are a right-handed hitter. Lefties should drive the left arm and push off with the right leg. Keep your head up, your eyes forward, and your arms pumping. Your first steps out of the box should be short and choppy and on the balls of your feet; then lengthen your stride and spring as fast as you can toward first. Keep your body relaxed and loose to eliminate any tension (tensed muscles are slow muscles).

3. Hustle is what determines the winners from the losers and the players from the athletes. Hustle catches the attention of coaches. A coach may take a player who hustles over one who is more talented, because that person is more valuable as a team player.
