1st base is an important position to play, it is also an easy one to
play. the main point is to catch the ball and get the out it is also the
cut off man from right to home the main when a ball is hit to first usually
the pitcher or second takes the bag if it is to far or when you are doing
a double play the second base man covers and then first backs up the throw
at first. first won't take most of the hits unless it is close 2nd will
but you always he to expect bad throws and on a dropped third strike get
the bag.
