When coaching baseball, work on batters getting rid of the bat, running out ground balls, concentrating on touching the near edge, and running through the bag.  They should also avoid any jumping to reach the base.  The iBook, Practice baseball to Win, has a section on base running with details that will get you from the dugout, around the bases, to home plate. Attention to the details of what to do in each situation can result in wins and losses. For more about the book go to: practicebaseballtowin.com
