quote:

He should set his right foot AGAINST the bag with his body in a semi crouch allowing him flexibility to move in either direction

So he should stand in a position ready to be trucked by the runner.


Nope. He should have his right foot and not his left against the corner of the bag, not straddling the bag. The runner is irrelevant at that point.

Again…you’re suggesting that he position himself in a way that makes it more difficult to catch the ball where it SHOULD be thrown.

I am a righty and I played 1st base….not that it means anything to you because you are clearly dug in on this one.
