@@NorthernBaseballTraining i was honestly making all of these mistakes and then i watched this video and i fixed everything

[@kevinflynn6108]

Hey coach. Loved this 1. I have searched a ton of 1st base videos, this might be my favorite. I will use this to train our 1st basemen

[@NorthernBaseballTraining]

Thank you! Glad I can help! There will be more 1st base videos coming in the future. More drills.

lol "If you're left handed then you're at a disadvantage, because you throw with the wrong hand and are probably weird" XD

[@NorthernBaseballTraining]

lol It's true...

[@botpacki5841]

@@NorthernBaseballTraining im left handed lol

[@kevinflynn6108]

I found that hilarious

[@snappyaj9053]

Not quite what he said… “Obviously if you’re left handed you have a little bit more advantage to make the tag this way but you’re also at a disadvantage because you throw with the wrong hand and you’re probably weird.” Wait, I’m left handed! Oh, wait, I’m also weird. Hmm…

I’m left and I’m to good lol

Really appreciate this! As a lefty I have to play first base and this video helps me a lot! Thank you

[@NorthernBaseballTraining]

Thank you!

[@themanwhosniffsgoosenecks8447]

Are you weird because you are throwing with the wrong hand

[@TNorville101]

nice video. I started playing first for my rec softball league this past year, with no prior 1st experience. I'm tall and can stretch, so they wanted me there. Simple stuff, like not stretching early and waiting to see where the throw is going before even planting your feet are nice tips. Thank you!

[@xjoshrx7385]

Been getting into baseball/softball at uni in the uk and wanted to try out first base myself, this video gave some pretty good tips so thanks man 👍

Should First always hold a runner on first? We just started coaching open bases but I dont like leaving such a large gap between first and second

[@deesnuts5223]

im thinking about trying first base so this video helped a lot👍

[@NorthernBaseballTraining]

Outstanding.

Thanks!

[@vlxnejay2113]

Ok so I am a first baseman as well and what I have learned all my life was to not put my ball of my foot on the bag because the runner and spiked cleats do not go together because it will injure me

[@jorgep1093]

Fantastic video, thank you

[@BZEENTERPRISES]

Thank you for this helpful vid 👍😎

[@NE3A-21]

I just tried out for a 13 u select team and they wanted to play 1st base because they didn’t have any other spots and I’ve never played first base so this is helping me

[@fluxd5276]

Is tagging the base necessary when theres a runner on first? Ur already touching it with ur foot. Or is that a simulation of if the ball is caught?

[@blakehodge3664]

Thanks this is a great video

[@NorthernBaseballTraining]

Glad you liked it!

[@joshcastro466]

Really like your videos when can we expect a shortstop video

[@NorthernBaseballTraining]

Thank you! It's on the list! Once the snow melts off our field!

[@duck4036]

Hey. Northern.. I plan on being first base and sometimes possibly play SS as well. Any tips and tricks on how to bat and how to read pitch’s or just how to not mess up

[@isaiaharguello]

Any tips of which glove I should buy for being a first basemen

[@plumpdog1024]

First base glove

[@CulleytheGOAT]

What brand of glove is that?

[@DemandAlphabetBeBrokenUp]

Only thing I disagree with is foot placement. I find that if I plant well...hard against the bag...My foot never comes off. Trying to find a good spot with the ball of my foot, A isn't consistent enough & B as you stretch further & further out. The ball placement generates an angle to the bag with that plant foot. So you have to force your heel down. Where as with my foot resting against bag flat. All my weight is pushing against that bag. The only time I have lost contact with the bag. Is when my foot is on top of the bag. One additional type that I would add. Is know your fellow infielders. If one guy in particular is playing 3rd baseball. I play closer the the bag. He just can't seem to throw the ball without worrying about hitting me. I'm 45 now lol I can't allows get around as fast i used to. So for Jon i play closer to the bag. Helps him make his throws. Being able to stretch is SUPER important at 1st base. A long stretch could be the distance required to get fast player out.

this guy realy knows what he's talking about

[@Mandotransformers.]

Thanks for the help😂

[@marissamcalister6244]

Do you haft to be tall to be a first baseman??

[@sTeaLthPoett]

Why do you have to make a tag at the base if you are on first... shouldn't it be a forced out just by you standing on the bag? This is for a runner on 1st section. Thanks.

[@AJFishing2009]

If the pitcher turns around to try to get the runner out when the runner is on his lead he will most likely slide back and you will have to tag

[@LoganIsCrazyOFFICIAL]

I’m in 12u and am first baseman

[@NorthernBaseballTraining]

[@nicholasrosales4059]

please mention to keep your toe on the first base and not your heel. otherwise when you stretch, you’re heel will come off.

[@waynewhitesides8859]

Keep your right handed ass off my side of the field lol.

Do I have to be tall to play first base? I really want to play it but I'm only 5 4 at age 15

[@bm1x718]

no you just have to be a good player

[@jarryd8167]

Honestly on most teams yes. I hate that for you but being realistic it's going to be very difficult to convince a coach to play you there.

just catch all the ball they throw to you and keep your foot on the bag

thats not correc cuz older kidd or adults know so this vidio shud be for older kids and adults

[@boisskateboarding6915]

you didn't even talk about pick offs

[@raz0rquack1]

One out, you get in the position for pickoff, pitcher throws the ball to ya, and you tag em
