All 1st baseman at all levels need to see this video. As an infielder, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thrown a ball slightly off target, but still catchable, that my first basemen took a step forward too early and couldn’t reach because of it. Then it looks bad on my part. You’ve gotta take care of your infielders.
I'm glad they made the bases bigger. I always thought they were too small, esp at 1B. Now we'll see less injuries on close plays at first.
