| If on your quick peek you see the ball is through the infield, or if you hit a fly ball, you’ll want to take what is called a banana curve approach to first.
- What that means is approximately halfway there you will begin to veer slightly outward and then comeback inward as you approach the bag (like a banana shape).
- You will want to try to hit the inside corner with your foot as you turn towards second.
- As soon as you realize that the ball is out of the infield, you should be thinking double. Make the ball determine if you have to stay at first.
- Most of the time, a double is determined by how the runner goes from home to first instead of first to second.
- And very importantly, listen to your first base coach.
