[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always feel slightly badly that 1B are considered slow and the least athletic since I have a 1B kid myself  I do agree that OF, especially CF, are super quick and have great arms. That regulation sized field is big.

This has me thinking though. I’ve often wondered if he’s been pigeonholed into 1B but he pitches too so maybe he’s saving wear and tear on his arm. [/quote]

My son is a long time 1B, and he just loves the position - loves the stretch, being engaged with almost every play, loves chatting with the 1B coach and kids who reach 1st. He is also super tall, as many 1B are, and he began to pitch at 14. He is now in high school and will almost certainly play in college as a pitcher. The other starting pitcher on my son’s high school team also plays 1B and they alternate. No shame to 1B!

And whatever to not being as athletic -  just look at the skill and importance to making a nice pick out of the dirt to get an out. A good 1B can win games.[/quote]
