Skills and drills for playing 1st base

Rule #1: Make everyone else look good.
Reliable, dependable, predictable. It's anything but...  Essential SkillsThe skill set for First requires unflinching eyes, a willingness to track the ball into the glove, an instinct to know when to stretch and when to take it on the hop, and the quick reflexes to sell those bang-bang plays to the umpire. And there's more to the position than that!
Group DrillsAll drills help, and under 'Your Role' above we list several with special rssponsibilities for 1st. Put extra effort into those when the coach runs them during practice, but here is a quick list of all the team drills because you may be called on at any time to fill another position.
