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.

Laowhen the ball leaves the pitchers hand you can steel. if the ball goes far past the catcher then steel. but b4 you steel you should take a big lead. make sure there isn't a person in front of you on the other base. if there is then you should watch them and make sure if they steel then you can steel but you don't have to. if you want to steel you can. but if the person hitting hits the ball and you are on 1st then you have to run.
you can sneak a base in softball when the pitcher throws the ball by running to the next base
NOTE: Cannot be done when fully loaded
NOTE 2: Be careful! You can gt out if there is a strike or foul and not back to the original base in time, i think
it is called "stealing"
when the ball is first released from the pichers hand the runner can take off running and slide into whatever base she is going to.
Yes. You can steal but you may not leave the base until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand as it is pitched. If you leave before the ball leaves the pitcher's hand you will be called out.
