" The next thing I’m going to talk about is running to first base. On a base hit or on a ball and the gap that you may get a double on. Whereas you hit a ground ball in the infield you are running straight down the line as hard as you can, touching the base and listening and looking to see if it’s been thrown away so you can go to second. The difference here is when you make contact and you know it’s a double you are going to start out running straight like you did before but then when you get to about this spot right here you are going to start to make a turn because it’s going to give you ultimately a straight line from first base to second base when you get there.

on 11/24/2009 You're losing a lot of time making your angle that early "extra steps." Everyone is different. Depending on your coordination, agility, running speed, stride and body weight hitters should find out when to start their "banana" through practice. The goal is to get to second as quickly as possible. The ultimate desire would be to make a complete 90 degree left turn without losing any momentum, but that is almost physically impossible especially for a fast 200 pound ball player. The shortest distance from A to B is a straight line, but isn't always the fastest due to centrifugal force. The better your can make your turn to 2nd without losing momentum and without adding extra steps to your path, the easier you are going to be able to leg out a double.
