Plays at 1st Base

Watch the fielder release the ball and then judge the quality of the throw. If you judge it to be a quality throw, snap your head to the bag and watch the runner's foot and listen for the pop of the mitt. If you judge the throw to be of poor quality, you may need to adjust your positioning to view a foot off the bag or a swipe tag. I find the crossover step back towards the foul line works pretty good. Timing timing timing.
