Welcome back to Barrels with Breland — your home for hitting fundamentals, baseball IQ, and faith-driven perspective on the game. I’m your host, Breland Almadova, and today we’re getting into one of the most underrated parts of baseball: base-running. Great hitters get noticed, but great base-runners win games.
Talking points:
• Base-running is not just speed — it’s instincts, angles, explosiveness, and awareness.
• A good base-runner plays fast because they think ahead.
• Your goal: turn singles into doubles, pressure defenses, and create chaos.
Psalm 121:8 “The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
