body position for Position B and C
Just wondering what everyone does with regards to their body position when in position B and C.
I've been told by a couple of evaluators to do different things. (Kind of tells you right there that there is no "right" position.)
The two different positions I've been told are:
1) Alway face the plate.
2) face 3rd base dugout when in B and 1st base dugout when in C
As well, when do you check for runners stealing. Do you cheat and look as the pitcher is throwing? Do you listen for footsteps or defense yelling? Do you simply wait for the catcher or pitcher to begin a throwing motion to a base before starting to get into position to make your call on a stolen base or pickoff?
