How Do You Scoop A Bad Throw At First Base?
• When you’re playing first base you stride towards the ball, but not until the person throws the ball. Striding too early will cause you to be unbalanced and possibly in the wrong direction of the ball, hindering your chance of making an adjustment. • You now notice the ball, in the dirt, is going to need to be saved from being an error. • Now you’re going to watch the ball the entire way to your glove, bend your knees, and your going to get in front of the ball as though you were fielding a grounder. Finally, field the ball and tag the runner or step on the base, whichever is quicker to do.
