That's exactly where I move to, toward the midpoint between 3rd and home. I anticipate moving there when the runner goes. I glance over my shoulder to see him go. You always here someone yell, "he's going." In the split second between the runner going and the catcher catching the ball, you can't tell me that you get that much of a better jump. I'm not talking about standing there flat-footed and dumbfounded while the catcher throws to 3rd, I'm just saying that I do not fully commit to 3rd base until I'm sure that the play is going there.
