What's this?

I think it depends on your strides, reach, and ability to get low very fast


Probably the stats do favor running, maybe 75-80% of the time (maybe even more). But I think there are individual cases where you can get a better result with a dive. The question is, do they know that in the moment? It’s usually more of an instinctual kind of thing.

  To run through or slide head first? I like running. Has this been studied -- IB4TECH 04/04/2022 8:12PM
  Running is faster. Studied, but some still dive in for some reason. ** -- techcabber 04/04/2022 8:33PM
  Yes it has been studied. Running through is faster, sliding is slower. ** -- Nortazhokie 04/04/2022 8:20PM
  The only reason to ever slide into first is when the 1st baseman must jump -- 2nchokies 04/04/2022 8:19PM
  Exactly. -- Will Stewart  04/04/2022 8:52PM
