As I approach 62 the bases get father apart and the runners get faster. I set up about 2/3 of the way to second. If the 2nd base person is in front of me I take a step or 2 to the left towards 1st base. In your pregame with your partner make sure they will be watching the pick off attempt and are ready to help with a close call or you possibly being blocked on the play. I've worked with PUs who WANT to make the pick off call at 1st.
