We have Chris Bisson from U. of Ky, Rico Noel from Coastal Carolina Univ. and Jeff Rowland from Ga. Tech Univ. and all can really run and have excellent baseball instincts.

I was asked after our Cape Cod baseball league game last night vs. Harwich by a fan why my teams always like to steal bases since the team stole 6 bases in the game. I said “the running game is always available in every game if we can just get someone on base. We can apply pressure whether we are ahead or behind in the game.” We had a wonderful conversation about how Brian learned to steal bases as a youth and we talked about my new book “You Can’t Steal Second Base and Keep Your Foot on First.”
My team, Cotuit Kettleers, has stolen 29 bases in 36 attempts in the first 5 games of the season. The players really enjoy the opportunity to run since very few college teams run during the spring season due to the use of metal bats.
We have Chris Bisson from U. of Ky, Rico Noel from Coastal Carolina Univ. and Jeff Rowland from Ga. Tech Univ. and all can really run and have excellent baseball instincts. They have picked up the running game extremely well in the first week of the season.
Another game tonight vs. Orleans. I will keep you updated on how the team is playing and how the running game is progressing for the Cotuit Kettleers in the 2009 season.
