thank you because my last game on first base I made an incredible play from watching this video
That's awesome to hear! Keep it up!
MORE 1ST BASE VIDEOS!!
Being a leftie also helps because you can put ur foot on the perfect corner for stretching to a throw from any other base or part of the feild
I'm a softball 1st baseman and we can still use these drills😁 I'm so happy i was recommended this video
Bruh you don’t know how helpful this is
appreciate all your videos for helping my 2 little league players.
This is an amazing video! I am making a notebook full of drills, base info, workouts, tips, plays, and much more for me and my friend to study. This is such a help and saves me from doing a lot of research lmao
Great video!! Would love to see some more 1st base videos. The scoops and picks is something I've been working on with my daughter. She's left handed
Thank you! I'll try to make more 1st base videos soon. Appreciate the support!
Thank you for this video because all of my coaches yell at me for “stabbing” at the ball. And I really like that you made this video thank you. 🙏
You're welcome! I hope this video helps!
That car in the background though
I would like to see tips on picking the ball out of the dirt. My 9 year old is playing first and I am not sure I am giving him the best advice on glove placement with balls in the dirt that bounce between the bag to 10 feet out. Thanks for the great videos!
Hey guys good stuff. An additional drill that incorporates a couple of your things is one we do on a regular basis with our 1st baseman. They start in a hold on position like your second drill, but as the step and shuffle a coach that is about 25 feet away and at a slight angle towards the pitchers mound tosses them the ball. They have to catch that ball and then under hand it back to the coach like they would be throwing a PFP. Once that release the ball they hustle back to the bag and then the coach throws the ball into the dirt simulating a short hop throw. We do this to give them less time to get their feet ready on returning to the bag and react to a ball in the dirt. It incorporates a "hard line drive" coming off the bag, then a PFP type underhand toss to a pitcher moving to cover first then getting back to the bag and fielding play that they have to pick the ball on a hop.
Oh... by the way... for those older coaches, dont be afraid to use a pitching machine from across the diamond and have it throw the balls into the dirt. We use a Zooka pitching machine during our practices to shoot the ball at the first baseman in the dirt and also as regular line drives to both forehand and backhand. Those with young shoulders that can throw that distance for many many throws to a team of first baseman... more power to ya!
1:31 that's my problem thanks for helping!
Nice video. Can you do one for 3rd base. What about getting back to the base after the pitch, to be ready for a back-pick from the catcher.
Great Video really helpful.
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that!
Thank you! I am my team's starting first baseman and this helped alot
Robert Dunn Same
Thank you. You have helped me get better at first base and I have only just started playing that position
I coach my daughter's softball team and I've been able to use many of your videos. Great work!... Part 2 to this video should demonstrate the different places to place your feet in the bag in different scenarios. And of course other bases to follow, my daughter plays 2nd base ;)..
Keep up the good work!
do 3rd Base drills like how to catch grounders and throw it to first base
Josh Legand isn't that self explanatory
Yes because im a 3rd baseman that trows wild
@@lifeofjcraft2557 then you prolly won't be playing much 3rd some kid who isn't wild is gonna take yo position
Hey coach Justin I've been playing first base my while life always being a bigger kid just as an advice I usually wait over the bag before the ball is thrown so you can place your back foot on either side of the base once you see where the ball is going. You get Alot more range by doing that
Love the little orange car coming across at 04:53
Great job buddy. My 7 & 9 are learning lots from you. Keep it up & thank you 😊
Appreciate it, thanks
Thank you.
Are you guys filming in Pueblo West Colorado? Has to be with Pikes Peak in the background and Nipple Mountain.
Heck yeah! Good stuff. A catchers video would be cool
I like these drills. Stay quiet and be athletic.
Another alternative to holding a runner is to square your body and feet with the pitcher. This is technique is common in the MLB. It's more athletic and makes it easier readying to field the ball. You don't need to show a target with your glove either, which again is more athletic when moving into position to field the ball.
That said, there's no one way to do anything. Experiment and figure out what works best for you.
That's some great advice! Glad you like these drills and thank you so much for watching!
I do that with a big fat slow guy who has a short lead. If it's a jackrabbit I'm in position to take a pick off throw.
On a good pick off throw I let the ball travel as far as possible. If possible my glove is touching the runner when the ball arrives into the mit.
I'm a lefty, it sure is an advantage.
Haha even though this is an older video it does help. Me and my team aren’t the best team in the league so I trying to work on being a good first base man for the team so thanks
Him: dont make excuses, go out and drill.
Me: I can't
Him: DONT MAKE EXCUSES
Me: it's snowi
Him: DONT CARE, DONT MAKE EXCUSES
Thank you
Thanks for the help! Can you make outfielder drills???
Brooke Short That doesnt mean its easy. Im a primary first baseman but I also play outfield if needed. Idk how old you are; but in 14U, its not so easy. Im a softball player but its basically the same thing. Outfield may seem easy to you, but in reality, it can be just as hard as any infield position.
Lots of love from India 😊💜
awesome!! thanks! 💯⚾️
this video really helped me with first base. I would like to see more first base and outfield drills.
Glad to hear that! I'll be sure to make more first base and outfield videos in the future!
3rd base drills
Anyone see the orange car at 4:54?
Yeah 😂
Yes
It's a bike
PERFECT video bro💯👍🏽
This was an awesome video thank you so much
What's you're opinion on having 1B straddle the bag prior to ball being thrown to 1B then adjust to where he ball is to receive & catch?
Keep in mind coaches that this will help with the fielder target zone and limits the chance of a wild throw! I’ve tried this technique with 6-8th graders and helps with scenario play! There’s no crying in baseball...
I played first and I had a very good game yesterday and thanks for teaching me
Nice video. Keep it up! Very nice job.
coach Justin.I have an important question, is about overload/underload batting practice. and is that I use a weight of 24 Oz for the bat. Is it the correct weight ?
Good work here
Great stuff!
I'm coaching a team where they don't stride at all. Makes no sense. Some back up on top the bag and into the base runner. I've worked with them they fix it and then go back to doing the same crap. I don't know if no one has ever worked with them or they were taught wrong.
Please keep doing 1st base videos
Nice video
What if you go to a school with 40 kids in the high school and your baseball coach doesn’t know a thing about baseball and he never gives you any signals. Should I make my own signs to the pitcher? Or confront my coach that he should start giving me signals when to move on and off of the base.
Sick
Thank you
I made 2 errors at first base at the World Series tournament
How should your back foot be on the bag? Different coaches are saying different things. One is saying to have the ball of your foot on the bag. Another coach is saying have your foot on the bag by being parallel well on the bag. Kind of how you did it in the video.
I was always told to have my heels on the bag and then decide how to stride and with whichever foot best suits the throw. Is this inaccurate, as I am coaching now? I see you instructing players to go into backhand on throws to the right. Thanks in advance for feedback
I play first base and I do this. Honestly the first baseman should just do whatever feels best so it comes natural
Nice and thanks for the information. I'm struggling on the one hop where it's wild and I have to time the hope. What do I do??!? Thanks
Just keep your eyes on the ball to the glove and don't turn your head. All positions have to deal with sudden unexpected bounces.
Remember...stay below the ball even on wilder throws.
Also, check the ground...on throws in the dirt on soft ground the ball will pop up a little more than they do on a full sand field.
How to practice to catch those bad throws to first, especially the throws hit the ground right in front..
👍🏻
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
2ND base drills
Fundamentals for catcher drills
Donovan Black keep your chest pointed at the pitcher. If you can throw your body in the path of the ball with your chest pointed at pitcher, knees on the ground, glove between your legs head down. Also if you can watch college level baseball. A lot of the the pros have bad habits
They used to stick the fat old guy at first, but that is not really the case anymore. It kind of is, but not so much anymore. I played first base all through Little League and High school and I was pretty good at digging out bad throws. I still think it's the greatest position to play.
Drills you can do by yourself For hitting and fielding
I wish I was a lefty the team I play for puts me at 3 cause they have 3 other lefty firstbase one can’t field a ground ball and the ones pretty good but pitches a lot and the other doesn’t really know what to do
Also I am a gray first baseman and know where to be and can pick the ball
Is that Pikes Peak in the background?
I been playing first base wen I started
Do you show a target
third base
Do cather one
3rd base
Would love to see you actually Field the balls and talk about how to pick up the balls. You need one more person helping you for your drills.
1st base players shoutout
2nd base drills
Shit I thought this was for relationships
Technically, it's a First baseman's MITT. (You knew that)
where’s your first base glove?
Outfield
make a cacher vidio
*WHERE'S HIS FIRST BASE GLOVE!?!??!??!??!???!!?!!!*
(just kidding)
The orange car in the background
you need to stride over the bag first kids
SHORT STOP
4:14 you turned the wrong way
First basemen wear a “mitt” not a glove ;) love your videos
Talks.to much. Doesn't look professional.
Hey bro you talk too much in the vids get to the point of the video
Ivan Esparza That's the point of teaching 1st baseman talking a lot
trey_buck_71YT yeah
You.are.very.cute💕😍😘❤
lmao this drill doesn't help. not a single person makes a throw to me on point. I startrd doing that crap the second day of practice
This still doesn’t help you maybe but it helps a lot of other people.
Nice video
