Again…you’re suggesting that he position himself in a way that makes it more difficult to catch the ball where it SHOULD be thrown.

I am a righty and I played 1st base….not that it means anything to you because you are clearly dug in on this one.

I am 6'3 and also have years of experience playing first base. If the ball is thrown where it should be thrown then neither of us should have an issue of catching it. However my stance allows for the ball to be caught at least a foot farther out which might be the difference in safe o rout. It also allows mor flexibility to reach an errant toss.
