Firstbaseman Pick Drill ~ Tips From the Dugout
Have the 1B's start from off the bag so that they have to move and locate the bag with their throwing side foot. They should square up to where ever the ball is coming from. Watch to see that they wait to see where the ball is headed, before they stretch. Stretching too soon can get them tied up. Play the ball first, the bag second.
