Specledorf Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Can anyone give me tips for stealing bases? When i try to steal, i always get thrown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 ok my general rule of thumb is he has to have an 80 or better speed before I will try to outright steal (lower speeds I will still try the odd hit and run) now what I do is take 1 leadoff step right away then I hit up to steal 2nd then try to time it so that just before the pitcher winds up I take my second leadoff step (kinda like a walking start) then when the throw comes in I always slide head first, and to the side the ball isn't going. (hopefully) It does take a little practice but I would think I have about an 80% or a bit more success rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Try to steal on breaking pitch counts, or 3-2 counts (with a decent speed guy on the bases). Turning User Steal Speed up in the gameplay tuning might help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 the only slider i would recommend is steal delay. do -10 and you should be good at it. and yeah i only steal with guys of 80+ speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
