I agree with others that it might be good to take a look at your "set position". Mine is not the norm, with one foot slightly in front of the other, knees bent and only slightly bent at the waist; almost the way runners start in longer races and, if I need to go to 1st or 2nd, making the first two steps big ones.

When running to second, I do not run directly toward second base, but to a postion that will be 10-15 feet on the outfield side of 2nd. That point is about two steps shorter than the other and also I have a better angle.
