Sounds about what I use, too, Chris. Remember, though, what you are looking for on that move to first is whether the pitcher steps ahead of the throw. Your BU will have the play covered. It's your job to watch for the balk, especially a failure to step.

If you use the double-wide stance, that drop into your set is only a short one, and usually pretty quick as a rule. Even though moving downward, you should still be able to see the pitcher's action if you aren't fooled into following the path of the ball, as so many unfortunately are.

Cheers
