Key point
With a runner trying to score, somebody MUST be the cutoff — the throw goes through a person, not over everyone's head.
Drill
Roll balls to right and have the first baseman sprint to the cutoff spot on the throw line every rep; check his lineup with the plate.
Watch for
The first baseman drifting off the straight right-field-to-home line — if he is not lined up, the catcher cannot see the throw.
