I need more of this 8-9yr old basics
Another read for balls thrown is to have both heals on the bag. Then, step to the ball. This also prevents crossover.
Love the youth drills w Matty!
I have a 6 and a 9 yr old and it's nice to be able to show them your simple, effective drills.
Great video Coach! Instantly helped my nephew who plays 1st in Little League. He watched your vid and immediately wanted to work on this. Appreciate you!
Great video, thank you Mr. Antonelli. I like to think you made it in response to a question I asked you last week during your livestream.
Hey Matt, you might not have ever made the big bucks as a player, but you are definitely making Big Karma as a coach and mentor...ultimately, what you are doing as a coach is more important. I wish I had a coach like you when I was a kid.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks Matt , very simple but very crucial to learn the mechanics
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Yeah!!! Finally some 1b love!!!❤
You know it! Thanks for watching!
You should try him out as a catcher. One day we're going to get a pro catcher that's a lefty!
Haha he loves catching and does it all the time
Thank you Matt great videos do you share with us, I love how you break everything down step by step.
My only concern is you should get other kid the take your drill more seriously.❤
Y'all are a class act, thanks for the info coach xD
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great video. My son is starting to play first base, what glove is matty using in this video?
Im seeing more and more 1st baseman start with both heels on the bag, and then depending on the throw, adjusting where their foot is on the bag before striding out to the ball. Is this more advanced for this video? Or am I seeing it, and maybe missing a coaching que in there somewhere as to why thats happening. Love the videos, been watching since covid, and tracking my 8 year old along with yours.
Well as a lefty and a junior in hs I wad an outfielder freshman and sophomore year and pretty much my whole life but before this year my coach asked me to move to first base so I could get more playing time I need some pointers we are 2 weeks in and have no clue what I'm doing
What kind of 1B mitt is that he uses?
Why is it that you don’t teach him to straddle the bag and have his heels in the front? Is there a main difference you teach the set up the way you do?
most important and least taught position in the infield, nothing prolongs an inning more often than a 1st baseman who can’t save his fellow infielders from slightly off target throws. a real 1st baseman makes the whole infield better.
Hey Matt, what model Rawlings is he rocking there?
That is a great question! I'm not sure. We went to Dick's and it was the only left handed first baseman glove there, so we got it lol
Yea I played firstbase in highschool and during my youth years as well and played for coaches that played pro or college and so even at 45 years old my knowledge is still rich. But the way I was taught is to sprint to the bag like you mentioned but have both feet in front of the bag. Then my body becomes a target wherever the ball is being thrown at and never expect a good throw but I was always told even if the ball was in the dirt to become like a goalie. But I would use my body as a target and I'm lefthanded as well and when the ball like you said is thrown to you then you would stetch out but I would have my body in front of me just in case that there was a bad throw. Also you didn't mention what you would do if it was a high throw or a bad throw and most of the time what I would do uf it was a high throw then I would try to stay on the base then I would take my left foot and just make a swipe across the bag with my left foot. But also come off the bag if there is a bad throw say over your head or if you see it going to the outfield but I was taught that your a goalie and you shouldn't allow anything passed you if you can avoid it
Wait what position did you play in the majors
Mostly 2B, but I played every position at some point during my career
not a fan of that foot placement (perpendicular to the edge) on the bag. Leads to coming off with a big stretch as the heel comes off the bag. I see it all of the time in the pros and on my sons college team. Sideways foot allows foot to pivot against the bag for all stretches. Plus sideways foot protects your Achilles much more. Not sure when this became the way. I was taught never to step that way and I never got called for coming off the bag.
Thanks Matt! Good video and coached the basic same all the way up. This is a little more in depth, but basics are the same. ruclips.net/video/DxCFmHR7x88/видео.html
