And baseball is a very different game, with different needs, so different mechanics.

The D position for U3 puts you in a great place for steals from second, force outs at third and pickoffs from the catcher to third base. On a pickoff at third base all it takes is a couple of steps to foul territory to see the tag.
Another problem that I see with going to a C position is the screaming line drive down the left field line that may
short hop the left fielders glove. U3 is in a better position to go out from D.
