In this particular situation, the PU signals he's staying home and the base umpires signal reverse rotation. Moving over to deep C helps me stay ahead of R1 in case he goes from first to third on a base hit.
Let me stress that this is a PRO 3 man mechanic and NOT a CCA mechanic.

The higher the level of baseball, the more likely I am to work in deep B with R1 only. The swipe tag advantage, mentioned by Sal (and I think Bob Jenkins and I have talked about it) is undeniable.
Looks strange, i guess, but the coverages are completely unchanged.
