Isn't there still a possible play at 2nd until the ball is in the circle? Runners round, or step off, and defenses occasionally throw behind.
Until this play sequence has ended, you have no reason to move to an initial position for the NEXT pitch. Once the ball is in the circle, you have plenty of time to move to your next position.
Where? 90 to the possible tag (back into 2nd from 3rd) inside/out to the location of the ball..
That said, if there is no defensive player in position to make a possible play back into 2nd (they all moved on), no sense standing there pointing like a bird dog, either (unless an NCAA TV or evaluation game).
