2. STEP 1 Come set looking at your catcher to get the signs

3. STEP 2 Drop your left foot back (right foot if you’re left handed) about 4-10 inches to the back left of your original position. This is called a rocker step

4. STEP 3 Now pivot your foot that is on the rubber so that it is on the inside and ready to push off when striding towards the plate

5. STEP 4 Now you are going to lift the leg you took your rocker step with to the power position. This is shown in the picture.

6. STEP 5 Now as your leg starts to drive down and towards home plate, you must break your hands over your leg so your arm doesn’t fall behind.

7. STEP 6 After the split, you are going to drive off your back leg as hard as you can to gain ground towards home plate.

8. STEP 7 Now after the pitch has been delivered you must hold your follow through so you can affectively field your position.

9. THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Play hard Play with heart And most of all…
