How To Play First Base - 8 Simple Tips For First Base 

Thanks for watching guys! If you have any questions, please leave me a comment below!

lol "If you're left handed then you're at a disadvantage, because you throw with the wrong hand and are probably weird" XD

Hey coach. Loved this 1. I have searched a ton of 1st base videos, this might be my favorite. I will use this to train our 1st basemen

please mention to keep your toe on the first base and not your heel. otherwise when you stretch, you’re heel will come off.

Keep your right handed ass off my side of the field lol.

this is probably the best first baseman tips ever

Really appreciate this! As a lefty I have to play first base and this video helps me a lot! Thank you

Ok so I am a first baseman as well and what I have learned all my life was to not put my ball of my foot on the bag because the runner and spiked cleats do not go together because it will injure me

Been getting into baseball/softball at uni in the uk and wanted to try out first base myself, this video gave some pretty good tips so thanks man 👍

Jesus loves you all, have a blessed day or night. May His peace be with you. ❤️

I just wanted to see if it was as "incredibly hard" as the guy in Moneyball said.

Only thing I disagree with is foot placement. I find that if I plant well...hard against the bag...My foot never comes off. Trying to find a good spot with the ball of my foot, A isn't consistent enough & B as you stretch further & further out. The ball placement generates an angle to the bag with that plant foot. So you have to force your heel down. Where as with my foot resting against bag flat. All my weight is pushing against that bag. The only time I have lost contact with the bag. Is when my foot is on top of the bag. One additional type that I would add. Is know your fellow infielders. If one guy in particular is playing 3rd baseball. I play closer the the bag. He just can't seem to throw the ball without worrying about hitting me. I'm 45 now lol I can't allows get around as fast i used to. So for Jon i play closer to the bag. Helps him make his throws. Being able to stretch is SUPER important at 1st base. A long stretch could be the distance required to get fast player out.

I am about to play my first travel 8u game and I am going to play first base so thank you!!!!

This helps a lot because I am a first time baseball player! so this is new to me thank you! favorite first base video.

Its kinda weird for me because im a right handed first baseman.

I’m in 12u and am first baseman

just catch all the ball they throw to you and keep your foot on the bag

Bruh I’m left handed

Do you haft to be tall to be a first baseman??

Is tagging the base necessary when theres a runner on first? Ur already touching it with ur foot. Or is that a simulation of if the ball is caught?

Why do you have to make a tag at the base if you are on first... shouldn't it be a forced out just by you standing on the bag? This is for a runner on 1st section. Thanks.

This one helped me the most I been looking for one like this video

Thank you it helped a lot for me ❤

nice video. I started playing first for my rec softball league this past year, with no prior 1st experience. I'm tall and can stretch, so they wanted me there. Simple stuff, like not stretching early and waiting to see where the throw is going before even planting your feet are nice tips. Thank you!

Amazing video dude! Idk why more people don’t watch your videos
