Am I correct everyone? Feedback appreciated.
I think that what the OP's problem is once he has rounded second and is going to third, he is naturally turned away from the incoming throw. Been there, done that. This is one of those times where merely instinct and a constant check of the ball/runner back and forth will keep you out of the throwing lane.
