No. 3BLE is the proper place.

Also, my question wasnt necessarily on a particular play (steal, ect.) but on the technique for a quick tag play. Should I watch the ball all the way into the glove and down to the ground, watch a certain area, watch the runners leg/foot??? Thanks fellas.
Read the ball. Turn your eyes ahead of the throw (once you read that the ball is not going to hit you). Watch the glove.
