Minor A Little League. B1 draws a base on balls. He immediately heads towards first base, runs through the base and continues to second with an attempt at 2nd being a safe call. Does it matter if he stops then darts to 2nd base? How about if he slows down and then picks up speed after the 1st base coach directs him(“Take second, take second”). If it isn’t one continuous motion isn’t the runner required to stay on first. Minor A Little League. B1 draws a base on balls.
