I tried to search for this but couldn't find a thread about it.
When the ball is hit hard to right field, the throw comes in and the first baseman will be 5 feet off the bag, but if he was at the bag, the runner would be out. I understand they are doing this to avoid lots of runners being thrown out from right, but why is this happening? Is the ball getting to the right fielder faster than in the real world? Is it the distance from right to first being too close? Is the runner running to slow? It's been an issue for a number of years.
Also why does the first baseman do that same "set" animation when he gets the ball instead of catching it and moving in stride. If nobody is on base, they shouldn't be setting themselves planting both feet like that right?
