We have a big treat for you guys today.
You might know Coach Roberts as long time UNC Head Baseball Coach, or one of the winningest coaches in the prestigious Cape Cod League (Just led the Cotuit Kettleers to the 2013 Cape Cod Championship), or the father of Orioles All-Star second baseman Brian Roberts.
Coach Roberts has an impressive a baseball resume, but happens to be a great person as well. His passion for the game of baseball is evident the second you begin speaking with him, and if that conversation continues…
You will no doubt talk about base running.
Anyone who has played for Coach Roberts or spent time around him knows about his unique, but very effective base running technique.
A great example is his response to my question, “What part of the pitcher do you teach your base runners to look at when trying to get a good jump on stealing second base?”
His answer, “We (My players) don’t look for any particular thing on a pitcher because I teach anticipation.”
Coach Roberts’ base stealing techniques are starting to be adopted by a lot of top college baseball programs and those programs are having incredible base stealing results.
Special thanks to Coach Roberts for spending some time with us and sharing some of his best base-stealing tips and tricks in the video below.
