Learn how to enhance your first baseman’s defensive capabilities with the “plant and stride” technique. Infielders often struggle to hit their targets consistently, making it essential for first basemen to extend their reach to compensate for inaccurate throws. By effective footwork, such as stepping to the corner of the base before moving towards the ball, first basemen can optimize their positioning for making catches while maintaining contact with the base. This technique minimizes the risk of standing directly on top of the base, reducing vulnerability to collisions with baserunners.
