A right handed batter would get to first base first because a left handed batter has to take extra time turning around to start running.
You can't steal first base. It's easier to steal second base off of a right handed pitcher because the right handed pitcher has his back to the runner on first, and therefore has a harder time trying to pick the runner off.

Catchers are predominantly right-handed in baseball because most batters are right-handed, and a right-handed catcher has an advantage in throwing out base runners trying to steal second base.
Left-handed batters in baseball have an advantage over right-handed batters because they are closer to first base, giving them a head start when running to first. Additionally, left-handed batters may have a better view of the pitch coming from a right-handed pitcher.
In baseball, being right-handed is generally considered more advantageous because most baseball fields are designed for right-handed players. This means that right-handed players have a shorter distance to throw the ball to first base, giving them a slight advantage in terms of speed and accuracy. Additionally, most pitchers are right-handed, so right-handed batters have a better view of the ball coming towards them. However, left-handed players can also have advantages, such as being closer to first base when running, which can be beneficial for bunting and base stealing. Ultimately, both right-handed and left-handed players can be successful in baseball, and hand dominance is just one factor among many that contribute to a player's performance.
Little League? It should depend upon who's better honestly. If you have two good middle infielders, do it by who is up to a bat. Right handed hitter? 2nd base should cover. Left hander? SS should cover. But in little league, who ever is going to make the play!
No, he is not. Robinson Cano is a left handed batter.
If they are a Right handed hitter then they are probably not a pull hitter. If They are a left handed hitter then they are a pull hitter. A right handed hitter swinging late on a pitch would also go towards the first base side (right field). Some right handers hitters naturally hit to the opposite field.
What the name of the hit that gets the batter to first base safely
When a batter is walked, they can only go to first base at first. Once they are on first base and the next batter is up to bat, they can steal, or advance on a base hit.
The first base is on a diagonal line from the right side of the batter's box. In Major League Baseball, the distance from home plate to first base is 90 feet.
It really depends on if they're left or right handed since I'm right handed i prefer my wristbands, bracelets and what not on my right hand and it seems most my friends do the same (most of them are right handed). My brother is left handed and he wears his on his left hand so that's what i base my answer off of.
