Not to deter from another thread where I posted some info on my lack of understanding, I'd like to openly ask a few questions here. My DD's main position is C then 1B. As I'm mentioned many times, she's coming from BB. Catching there's little to no difference. 1B though has some differences and her coaches really aren't helping her learn those differences. Keep in mind, she's not a larger girl that usually plays 1b. She's agile and can move.
1.) How many steps should 1b take when going "after" a ball. In BB it's 1,2,3 dive or get back. (Steps that is.) Pitcher covers. SB, apparently 2B does. Should I be teaching her less steps?
2.) With no runners on, should she be behind the base, even, or in front?
It seems pitcher and C still cover on the bunt for our team. I never really see 1b crash. So that also applies for the previous Q and the next.
3.) With runners on, where should she play? (Stating no obvious attempts to bunt.)
