Don't play 1st Base!
-
The mechanics of the defensive position at 1st base are horrible!
I played this position many times in the past on MLB The Show since 2006. The defensive plays are so repetitive, they are so predictable it is painful to play! Runners on 1st and 2nd almost always guarantees a hard ground ball up the middle every time!
There are basically only three scenarios you will face, hard grounder to the left or up the middle and a double play, very rarely does the batter hir a grounder to third. NOT once during an entire season did the pitcher attempt a pick-off move!
I played an entire season and only threw out a runner at home plate...twice!
The only why to achieve a decent defensive player is to sacrifice all the tokens you earn into fielding and throwing! -
FYI if you play first base. Your responsible for calling on the pickoff attempt.

@SoccerNdog_YT_MLBTS How do you do that???

On Xbox it’s left trigger and to the base you wanna send it to you can do it from any position when you’re in the infield. On my two way player I’ve had several diving stops at first base.
