Breaks refers to making the break for second base. To start this drill, get in lead off position near first base. Turn toward second base by way of a hip turn, pivoting the feet and throwing your arms to transfer momentum. Next, crossover step with the left foot. Staying low, drive as hard as possible toward second for four to five steps.

Keys to performing this drill are a proper pivot and quick double pump of the arms, which gets them in sync with your legs following the pivot. Staying low at the start and accelerating as fast as possible are also crucial. Perform five to six repetitions each day. Use your walk back to the start line as rest between reps.
