One base at a time

“One base at a time” is a baseball term that describes the strategy of concentrating on moving the ball forward one base at a time instead of attempting to score many bases in a row. The ability to think strategically and avoid taking risks—like attempting to steal a base when it’s not the best strategy—is crucial for baserunners, and this approach helps them do just that.

The main objective of a baserunner on first base is to make it to second base. They start concentrating on getting to third base when they get to second base and continue like that. Baserunners have a better chance of making it to the next base and scoring runs if they focus on just one base at a time.

The offensive strategy of the team is also based on this approach. Instead of aiming for the fences every time they take the field, batters concentrate on getting good contact with the ball and moving on to the next base. Baserunners and batters can help the team win games by making calculated plays when they concentrate on a single base.
