To Catch Low Throw to First.

The tall first baseman not only
has an advantage because he can
catch high balls, but also because
he has a much longer reach when
an infielder throws low to him to
make a putout. To play such a
ball he should reach we'll forward,
as is the player on the left in the
illustration. This insures his max
ing the catch. The player on the
right is taking such a throw on
the bounce. This is a poor method,
as no baseman can accurately
judge the bound Of ball. so he is
likely to miss it. Catch all balls
before they reach the ground when
1t is possible. That is a good rule
for every player to go by.
