Bonus playing tips... view all the playing tips that appear in HowToPlay.com's "Essential Softball Mechanics"!!!

As an infielder throw is made to get a runner out, the throwing side foot reaches to touch the front corner of the base.  After recognizing the ball path, the glove side foot stretches the First Baseman toward the ball (a tip in "Effective First Baseman Mechanics").

Either the Pitcher or the First Baseman finish the 3-6-3 double play.  Both players need to talk to one another as the play develops to determine which player takes the throw.

To demonstrate how concise and detailed, yet how easy-to-read "EFFECTIVE FIRST BASEMAN MECHANICS" is for the user,  the actual text for "Beginning the 3-6-3 Double Play," one of over 15 topics from this brochure, reads as follows:

"BEGINNING THE 3-6-3 DOUBLE PLAY
Left Handed First Baseman
Movement - moves slightly around the ball… Right Foot - steps to open the body to second base… Eyes - look the ball into the glove… Throw - from the glove area with a slower ground ball or a fast runner… higher arm angle on quicker balls and slower runners… always chest high over the inside corner of the base… Feet on the Throw - no steps or left foot replaces the right to make a stronger, more accurate throw.
Right Handed First Baseman
Ball Hit Right at/just Right of First Baseman.
Feet - turn the player clockwise to make the throw... Plant - the right foot plants square to second base... Throw - stride and throw the ball.
Ball Hit to the Left of the First Baseman. Right Foot - crosses over planting square to the target... Hips - align with the target... Left Foot - strides and throws the ball..."
