Hustle, but don't over hustle (that can be worse).
Getting the angle is more important than getting the distance.
The most difficult play will be the throw down to 2nd on a steal. Try to get the angle down the first base line so see the swipe tag. If you go into the infield before you get the angle, you'll be blocked on the swipe.
Swing more into the infield when trailing the BR than you would with a BU, so you can have the angle on the play. But be aware of where the play is coming from. Hits / bunts down the 3rd base line - stay back.
With runners on 2nd and 3rd, stay in 3rd base foul territory and get the best angle you can for first, being prepared to go to 3rd or home for a play.
