You work at an angle so to not get straightlined on a potential trapped ball in the outfield. You may have to back in towards the mound if the outfielder is playing shallow and preparing to make a catch attempt near the infield.

You never leave the infield grass. As a matter of fact you might have to back closer to home plate, it just depends on where the ball is going and where the runners are located. But being in those positions to not disqualify you from making catch/no catch calls. But again, this is pregame territory and you have to discuss this with your partner before the game starts so that you do not have two separate calls.
