Playing 1B with only one foot is incorrect. First basemen should be able to use both feet and actually shift to use the entire bag - left side and right side. And, you can cover more area using both feet. Jones also commits before the ball is in the air and that’s an issue.

That works only if the first baseman is ambidextrous and can change gloved hands as the throw is incoming. Other wise you clearly have a wider radius using the same foot as your throwing hand on the base.
