First Base

The Anchor of the Infield

First base is the busiest receiving position on the diamond — nearly every infield out passes through the first baseman's glove. This complete position course builds the first baseman from the ground up: footwork at the bag, stretching and scooping throws out of the dirt, holding runners, fielding the 3-hole and starting double plays, charging bunts, serving as a cutoff, and the backups and coverages for every situation. From Little League to Freddie Freeman — the Dodgers' Gold Glove cornerstone and World Series MVP — you will learn to anchor the infield and turn your teammates' throws — good and bad — into outs.
