From the C slot you can follow that runner from the outside and get the proper 90% to gave yourself the best chance on making the proper call and as in FP making that call at 1st from the C slot is not that tough except for those pulled foot and missed bag chances which you have to hope PU is watching for needed assistance. The C slot seems to work well in FP dont see why same mechanics cant work on SP

Don,
On the play you describe, runner on 2B stealing 3B, the BU should be standing directly behind 2B only as deep as a direct line between the two closest fielders.
If the runner takes off, you simply step inside toward the pitcher's plate to get the angle on a call at 3B.
It works.
