John O'Neil sits down with speed development specialist Lee Taft to discuss the 7 movement patterns for speed and how coaches can effectively teach these actions to their athletes, how stance and set up can be exploited to optimize speed as a base stealer and defensive player, the concept of a false step when starting a sprint and how we can truly evaluate if a player is accelerating properly, and how and where baseball can be better at training speed from the youth to professional level.
