Watch as Coach explains that a baserunner's lead versus a left-hander depends on who is on first. The best base stealer will take a 13-14-foot lead and be in a position to read the pitcher and able to get back to the base. When reading a lefty, the baserunner wants to see air before making the break. Read the pitcher's leg and break before the leg reaches the top.
