As a H.S. coach I taught my players to turn left so they "see the field" and are in a position to advance if possible. Turning right is a sign of quiting; the player is not being alert.
Note that if the Look-back rule is in effect, a player that turns right is assumed to have committed to 1B. Any attempt to 2B and they are out. (That's probably the only time the words "turn right" show up in the rule book."
