Big Blue Baseball Skills Academy: Steal Leads at First Base

Curious, why 12 feet? Is there something special about it?

That’s the adequate distance to pivot and slide back. Any closer and you jam hands, any further you come up short.
12’= 3’ (pivot) + 6’ (body length) + 3’ (dive and slide) “roughly”
