Thank you for the comment. Tim Walton at the University of Florida teaches two different styles of baserunning. The first is the “sprinter” position, where the right foot is on the bag and the left foot is a stride ahead. This is getting more popular in today’s game.
The second is the “rocker position” where the left foot is on the front of the bag and the right foot is behind the bag. This is a more traditional method and really relies on timing so you can gain momentum as the ball is released. The majority of his team relies on this position.
The one thing to note is that you shouldn’t take too long of a first step. You want an explosive first step so don’t extend too far as it will slow you up. Coach Walton’s DVD can be found at: http://www.championshipproductions.com/cgi-bin/champ/p/Softball/Dominating-the-Base-Paths_SD-03493D.html

I was curious what base running stance/technique the top sotball programs are using in their programs? I played some high caliber ball & was an accomlished base runner with a high percentage for stolen bases. I am horrified watching a coach teaching young girls to leave their left foot on first base with their right foot a long stride ahead towards second. The logic given to me was that this put you closer to second base but this was contraire to how I played & how I was taught. Are my thoughts & experience on baserunning obsolete today & this is the new thing?
