You're trying to get the same angle on the throw that you have for any other play. Only difference is - you have to decide if you can get to the infield and get your angle without getting in anyone's way, or you have to take this on the outside. Infield is extremely preferred, due to possible subsequent actions.

If you're on the outside (in foul ground, in other words), be extremely prepared for your sprint to the sweetspot if the ball gets away (again, avoiding fielders and BR). This can be a tough one if there's a play at 1B and then a play at 2nd after the overthrow.
