Who is it easier to steal first base from left or right handed pitcher?

How do you delayed steal in softball?
The delayed steal is a method of taking base using more of technique, then actual speed or a good jump to get to second base. The key is that the middle infielders are not checking their base after every pitch with a man on first base. In other words, a middle infielder must take a few steps towards second after every pitch. When the middle infielders do not do so, second base is ripe to be taken via the delay.

How do you successfully steal a base in baseball?
To successfully steal a base in baseball, a player must have good speed, timing, and technique. The player should take a lead off the base, watch the pitcher's movements, and then sprint towards the next base when the pitcher is about to throw the ball. It is important to slide into the base to avoid being tagged out. Timing and anticipation are key to a successful base steal.
Can a runner on first base be thrown out if he is attempting to steal second base on ball four?
No. After ball four is thrown to the batter it is a base on balls. The batter is entitled to first base, and any base runner forced ahead may advance. Even if the runner on first is attempting to steal on the pitch, he is awarded second base and cannot be thrown out. Of course the runner from first is award second base, but is only protected up to the base. If he overruns or overslides the second base because in his steal attempt he was not paying attention, he can be tagged out if he is off the bag.

How do you steal a base in fastpitch softball?
In fastpitch softball you can either do a straight steal or a delayed steal. A straight steal is when you take off running for the next base as soon as the pitcher releases the ball. A delayed steal is when you lead off the base like you would any other pitch, but a little farther. When the catch throws the ball back to the pitcher you take off running to the next base. This is successful because it confuses the defense, especially if they are not paying attention to you. A lot of times you can steal a base using a delayed steal without them even getting the chance to throw the ball before you get to the base.

Who covers second base when a runner attempts to steal?
It depends. The rule of thumb is for the second baseman to cover the base if a right-handed hitter is at the plate; shortstop for a left-handed hitter. The logic goes that hitters are more likely to 'pull' the pitch and having the infielder from the other side cover gives a team better defensive coverage.
