Silly me. It's not a little box. The rectangle "Box" extends from a line between a typical "B" and "C" position to a parallel line behind the back of the pitcher's mound.


{so much for trying to be clever with a diagram}


On balls hit to the outfield the BU (if in "B" or "C" typically moves closer to the mound, reads the play and then gets in position/angle if a play develops. My previous schooling had me drifting to within 20 feet of a base to make a call and much closer to 2B on fly balls into the "V".
