I stay in C. I can get to the needed spot for a play at first just as easily from C as I can from B.

R1 & R3, less than 2 outs; BU sets up in B not C to be in a better position to call a double play attempt AND because most high school and below ball has 1st/3rd gimmick plays with the SS taking a short throw from the catcher where BU's C position is. Again, most mechanics diagrams put BU in C in this sitch.

What do you normally do and why?
I'm in B whenver a steal of second is possible.
