Mick,
I don't understand your UIC's reasoning. I come out to the left, circle into the infield and move toward 1B (typically). Coming out to the left has several advantages:
1) F2 99% if the time will be going straigt forward or going out to the right.
2) I can stay in foul territory if the ball is batted / bunted toward third, out of the way, but with still a good angle on the play at first.
3) With runners on base, I am positioned for any possible play at home.
What advantage is there to going out to the right?
