Players and Coaches! What situation are trying to take second base?
Could be more than one answer, could be none of these answers!
Whatever you choose (and don’t choose), you should be able to explain why.
Let us know when you’re stealing, when you’re not and why (assuming you/your player is a strong base stealer)! ⬇️
