When I'm in B with R1 I'm chest up to the 45' line and in middle to short B.
In this position I can look 45deg. (not over my shoulder) at F1 and all the action on the mound as well as home plate and also with just a move of the head (again, without having to look over my shoulder) see the pickoff at first.
The pickoff at first sometimes can be very quick and I don't want to be moving during the tag nor do I want to be looking over my shoulder.
For me, hands on my knees, very stable and just a turn of the head in short to middle B gives me a great angle and a steady look.
