Hmmm,
OK, umpire school twice, three MLB three day clinics, five college CCA camps, teach at various clinics and local assocaiton camps:
It has always been taught to start to move towards the impending play the instant you read the steal. As noted, catch the movement over your shoulder, while still watching the hitter move to your calling position.
If you wait the pitch to be completed you'll get about two steps in big boy ball and will proably get to work a lot of JV.
