Ok. So cutting corners may not have been the best expression to lead off in the title line. It implies cheating or gaining an edge without proper effort. But cutting corners is something that a runner is taught to do when rounding bases. They are to “cut” the inside corner of the bag and get a solid push off to keep in stride while making their move to the next base.
This is a basic skill learned by runners as young as Little League, but the Indians have sought out to do just these sorts of things – except more advanced obviously – in Spring Training to continue their goal of improving overall team baserunning.
