Positioning in C

[rickfriedmann]

I'm in my first year and I've noticed the books (particularly Fed) suggest that the proper C postion is to be on a line from the plate through the side of the rubber. But I find that puts me to the shortstop's left and gives me a very bad angle on foot-base-glove on steals of third.

I don't have any problem hustling (I've done soccer for nearly twenty years so I running to position is no problem.)
Where do the experienced umpires position themselves in games where the runner at second intends to be a runner at third frequenty, whether on steals or advances on passed balls in those short backstop fields?

Thanks!
