Why is first base so under taught? Good question - that’s why Rijo Athletics will help prepare every player who plays this position to have a better understanding of the first base position after this mini camp.
- Some of what will be covered:
- • Footwork- What foot goes on the bag? Does it change depending where the ball is coming from?
- • Stride- When and how to stride properly.
- • Bunt reads and coverages
- • Picks, short hops and long hops.
- • When to block and when to pick?
- • How to go get pop-up along fence.
- • Proper footwork on ground ball.
- • How to turn double-play
- • Flips and coverages with pitcher.
- ...and much more during this one-of-a-kind first base camp!
