I assume you're talking about what the BU does between pitches. I always walk forward from my set position in "C" a couple of steps, and then react by moving perpendicular to the foul line or the first-to-second line extended to try and get an angle on the play. Quite often, the catcher's quick pop up throw won't give me any time to take those couple of steps forward.
