To an amateur, it seems like the most difficult position to protect at first.

If there are no runners, there is no need to throw the ball.

Well, there’s no need to run to the double play area, no need to run during the relay, and no need to run every time there’s a pick-off, right?

I think if you have normal understanding, no explanation is needed, right?

The necessity to throw is the smallest.

But what do you do when you have to throw it…?

But the first baseman throws the ball at some point, right? I wonder what Kiriyama would do if that happened…

>>8

I see…

I feel like I’ve heard in other baseball manga that the first baseman is usually a skilled player.

I have the impression that defensive weaknesses are often passed to the left side as well.

There are also cases where a professional in reality compensates for the difficulty of infield throws.

I don’t need legs and shoulders, but I want catching ability.

>>10

If you can’t handle the show bun, you’ll become a base hit machine.

People who hit well but are not very good at defense tend to be sent off.

When it comes to home get-togethers, it feels like you need to give it your all.

The physical burden is low, but if you can’t protect properly, an invisible debuff will affect the entire infield.

In addition to movement and techniques, a baseball mindset is necessary.

It must be tough with so many options for second base and shortstop.

>>16

In the case of an infield ground ball, the first baseman needs to stay close to first base to catch the throw, so the second baseman must have a wide defensive range.

The shortstop has to field the ball hit deep into the gap and throw it towards first base, which is in the opposite direction of their body movement.

Apart from the battery, the middle infield has the heaviest defensive burden.

>>16

If the third baseman is bad, and the shortstop and first baseman are also bad, the second baseman ends up covering for them, which gives the impression of a wider defensive range.

Sometimes there were shortstops who were made to play left field or right field.

>>24

The current shortstop of Yakult will do not only the support for the third base and left field, but also cover for center field.

In games, the defense stat is often a measure of the ability to accurately chase the ball.

It’s common to place characters you want to develop with a focus on attack at minimal ability values.

The position with the least shoulder strain among all nine defensive positions is probably first base.

Wasn’t it that it was fine to throw something like a casual catch?

>>20

Even though I’m not a pitcher, I still have to throw the ball quickly and far…

I still don’t know the specific line of Kiriyama.

It’s easy and fun to throw to a first baseman who is tall and skilled.

I heard that in the past, Light was bad at number eight.

>>23

If you’re going to put someone who’s as terrible as to be called a “liar,” then this was the position for it.

The situation has changed because there are more left-handed batters.

Also, Ichiro’s strong arm in right field definitely had an impact.

>>31

Does that mean it’s a position where you can’t perform well unless you’re fully committed?

>>23

It’s difficult for left-handed batters to hit strong balls to right field in amateur baseball where there are few lefties.

>>23

It’s only up to an amateur level.

The first baseman is a position where, since you catch the ball the most, you have to be able to defend well.

>>25

Stay still and don’t move!

>>26

Even if I don’t move, everyone in the infield throws the ball this way!

>>27

A throw that can’t be caught without movement!

A throw that won’t come off even if you move!

>>25

Other positions are more difficult.

Not being able to catch the ball goes beyond the level of being able to defend or not.

>>25

Other positions primarily involve “catching and throwing.”

It is more common for the first to end with “catch.”

Strong hits tend to go towards third base.

The most insignificant person gets to be the light.

>>30

In amateur baseball, it’s right field, but as the level improves, it becomes left field.

In the end, they will no longer be able to defend.

If it’s thrown to a place it can’t reach, it’s the thrower’s responsibility.

However, once you reach where it arrives, do not divert even if you die.

The difficult part of being first is being especially told about the second line without touching the first line.

Stretch your body to the point of dying and keep your legs still! ⚾ Hold on!

If the first baseman is bad, they can’t get the out on ground balls.

It seems that in the outfield, catching fly balls and having a strong arm are important skills, right?

>>36

It might also be about judgment on hitting the ball and footwork (defensive range).

If you misjudge a hit ball that reaches the outfield fence, a double can turn into a triple.

So it means you need to be good at catching, but it’s a position where you don’t have to pitch much?

The problem of Kiriyama not being able to throw the ball was addressed in a confrontation with someone who explained it through images.

>>40

It’s fine since it’s been revealed, but if it hadn’t been, wouldn’t it be unusable outside of the finals?

It seems like it could be used to take apart a malfunction.

Players who can hit but have terrible defense will be moved to first base.

Even if you can hit, those with worse defense will be moved to third base.

>>42

Maybe it’s better not to take the worst case…

>>43

Perhaps the most famous third baseman among Japanese people is Shigeo Nagashima.

The third baseman may be really bad, but if they keep their eyes on the line drive, they can defend it.

It is saying.

>>43

Because I can cover both shortstop and the outfield…

At first base, catching skills are necessary, but at third base, it’s acceptable to have poor catching skills at worst.

>>42

The recognition is about ten years old…

The third hit literally comes flying back at you as if it’s going to kill you…

No matter how skilled you are, if you’re timid, you can’t do it, but if you’re clumsy but have guts, you can.

Mr. is not helpful at all!

If the infield has terrible throwing, the burden on the first baseman increases significantly.

There are different types of poor defense.

Only the legs are there, and those with intact legs and shoulders can throw. The less skilled ones are shifted to the outfield.

I don’t have much in terms of legs, but my shoulders are strong (although my accuracy can sometimes be bad), so I get moved to third base.

Veterans who can catch the ball but have a damaged shoulder and legs are moved to first base.

It may not have the flashiness of the middle infield, but the skilled first baseman is beautiful.

It’s hard to play third base if you’re left-handed.

>>51

Because the throwing direction is opposite…

So there are players who are originally left-handed but have been trained to play right-handed because they play third base.

A skilled first baseman can catch throws that go up, down, left, or right, and can dash home quickly to tag a runner during a squeeze play.

It’s frustrating that the first baseman casually jogs after fast hits but sprints at full speed for slow hits.

Furuta said that, but is that really how it is?

>>55

A fast hit can get through the infield and turn into a double, you know…

The work of light and second.

Isn’t it a bit different between professionals and high school baseball?

As long as you solidify the second and short positions in Power Pro, you can manage fairly well.

Those who can’t protect are at an amateur level on the right but become professionals on the left.

>>61

Amateurs have a hard time getting the light to come.

As a professional, it’s a critical point whether the player stops at first base or advances to second base in scoring position, so the right fielder is important.

I feel that the light has a role in covering the base, and the position that requires the least throwing is first base.

I saw on TV that those who can’t play defense should go to left field and the shortstop will cover everything.

Isn’t it a problem to summarize it with just the term “defensive ability”?

I thought that, but after reading the thread, they are actually discussing the burden of defense properly.

While physical strength other than catching is not required, it is necessary to quickly decide whether to go for a nearby ground ball or to leave it to someone else and enter first base.

If you can’t do this, your body will deteriorate from other defensive positions, and even if you attempt to challenge first base, you will end up being returned to your original position, leading to a decrease in opportunities to be used.

Since the thread image has a perfect body except for throwing, it should be fine to use it for first place.

>>67

Aren’t they wondering why I’m playing first base even though I’m doing relief?

If you’re going to be a pitcher, it’s obvious that you want to rest your shoulder, so is that a problem?

>>68

It is mentioned in the thread that there are actually cases where professionals use two relief pitchers, with one positioned at first base, and alternate them.

>>67

If it’s exposed, we’ll go for a sacrifice bunt to first base.

>>72

If it’s clear that I can’t throw, it’s a given that I’m in trouble, so I don’t care how I’m attacked afterwards.

To summarize, while flashy defense and throws aren’t really required and the physical burden is low, if your catching ability is terrible, it feels like you’ll break down?

Just because the number of throws is low by the rules doesn’t mean it’s not required.

You don’t need to give it your all for a bunt play.

Just face the strong hitters.

Isn’t it because first base is a position where you can get an out just by catching the ball and stepping on the base?

If this guy strays too far from the base, we can’t get an out, so the defensive burden on second base is significant.

If the first baseman does a bunt, that’s one thing, but well…

>>77

If Sanba doesn’t lose its condition, there doesn’t seem to be any problem around there, right?

>>77

I can at least play catch.

It’s the position where the ball is most likely to come, so if your catching skills aren’t high, you’ll be in hell. Also, since there are many opportunities to catch with a split, you need to be flexible.

>>79

No one even does splits anymore, not even amateurs these days…

>>101

I have a memory of seeing it several times on Patreon last year…

Rather than saying that someone who is not good can play first base, it’s because the returns from being good at first base are fewer compared to other positions that defensive difficulties are placed on first base.

The first baseman is treated as if throwing is to blame even though their catching skills are poor.

It can’t be done unless it’s somewhat large.

There was a time when Abe, who could no longer play as a catcher, was playing first base.

It seems there might be an opportunity for a fielder to catch a player in the outfield.

But even in the Major’s Sei-his High School arc, the glasses-wearing amateur was playing first base…

>>88

Isn’t he surprisingly good for an amateur?

>>91

I mean, everyone is a bundle of talent; they hardly ever make mistakes.

The image is of a veteran or a foreigner doing it.

When my favorite team is playing poorly, it makes me feel sad.

I remember that the first one said he liked the big one, was it H2?

Well, it’s just that it’s good to have someone who can cover when the throw goes off target.

>>93

Kirishima is big, so in that sense, it’s just right.

There’s probably no such thing as giving it your all within the first base defense range, right?

Since Kiriyama can’t put in full effort, it’s fine to just send it with a toss or something at worst.

Being large and flexible makes it advantageous because you can catch the ball away from the base.

Well, there’s no doubt that the pitcher has it the hardest.

In amateur baseball, the game cannot proceed unless the first baseman is competent.

In amateur play, the first is extremely important.

Even professionals who are good at catching are appreciated from shortstop and third base.

The infield defense in Major League Baseball is amazing, but the pitcher is often joked about for their defense.

>>102

If I may say so, Japan is incredible when it comes to this.

During the club activities, we do a lot of pitcher knocks, so Japan.

Perhaps it’s largely due to the fact that bunting is used excessively in Japanese baseball.

>>102

I’ve only been practicing throwing from the mound to the strike zone.

There are quite a few types of people who are unbelievably bad at throwing.

>>108

Kiryuyama has a huge problem and it’s being talked about a lot, but I wonder how Masaru’s defense is doing…

The catcher will end up running around with a base cover more than expected.

The defensive burden is light, but the frequency of catching is second only to that of the catcher, so it’s not an easy position…

There is no easy position in defense just based on whether you have the right aptitude or not…!?

First base involves the most plays that result in an out, so if you’re not good at it, the game can really fall apart.
