Smart baserunning is one of the most overlooked weapons in fastpitch softball. While speed helps, it’s not the deciding factor. Extra Inning Softball breaks down how baserunning is more than speed, the art of reading the field, softball IQ, being a student of the game, and drilling scenarios. Whether you’re a leadoff hitter or coming off the bench, mastering these softball baserunning strategies can change the course of a game. Keep reading to learn how top athletes like Jayda Coleman use next-level IQ—not just raw speed—to impact every inning.
