re: First baseman had wrong foot on the bag restricting his ability to stretch for the throw

If you have years of experience playing 1st base then you should know that righty vs left means absolute squat in this scenario.

Actually being right handed would be a distinct advantage in this scenario as the glove on the left hand would extend farther up the line toward the errant throw. A lefthander would have to stretch across his body to reach the ball. The reverse is true , though if the errant throw is toward the infield side .
