Slide Feet First

 Feet First always, unless you are diving back into first on a pick off from the pitcher. You can slide harder and faster. I would love to hear the analytics on the head firs slide. I know it is more dangerous for sure. I see more and more infielders blocking the base. You play baseball with your arms. Protect them, learn how to slide early and hard. It's important. You need to practice it consistently. I argue that you should learn how to slide with your left leg extended. Safest slide because you can turn your upper body at the base. If an infielder tries to block the base, ruin his day. I miss playing contact sports, but you can be physical and set the tone for the game with a hard aggressive slide. Stay in the baseline but aim for their ankles. This slide below was little dirty but their pitcher hit a couple of our guys on purpose so Hangwitem. Run the bases hard with the right angles and slide feet first and touch the base as fast as you can. Bring back playing the game to Win, not trying to showcase your tools all summer to Johnny College Coach. Play to win the game.
