Keep your eyes on the baseball except when glancing to see the runner touch the base, then get your eyes right back to the ball (on hits to the outfield). If it is a choice between the two, just watch the ball. It's more important to know the position of the ball. Let the ball lead you to your plays. Don't overcommit to a base, only to see the ball get thrown to a base behind you. Don't worry about how close you get to the play, just make sure you get the proper angle. Angle over distance every time. Relax and have fun. Don't be quick with your timing. See the whole play develop, and make sure that the fielder has the ball securely before the "out" call. Proper use of the eyes, ya know. Oh, did I say relax and have fun? Relax and have fun.
