Bill Miller on the plate. Pitch was high and off the catcher's glove and back to the screen just to the first base side. The catcher turned to his left with a left handed batter at the plate. Miller moved to his right and turned to check the location of the ball, which went back to the screen to the first base side. My guess is that Miller didn't want to cross between the catcher and the plate so he moved another 2 or 3 steps in the direction of first base to clear the throwing lane. Miller then turned to watch the touch of home plate and any potential play. Turned out there was no play because the catcher couldn't pick up the ball.

I didn't see anything wrong with the play. The PU has to read the catcher and adjust accordingly.
