I don't know how other PU do on a 90 ft. diamond, but I try to get to at least 30 to 40 ft. down the line. I feel like if I'm running too hard I won't be able to concentrate, slow down and see to make a call if if I'm practically chasing the runner down the line.
Hell, even I can get to the 45 ft. line. PWL, the young bucks these days end up practically at first base. Face it, you're too damn old. You're supposed to be set for the call anyway, not chasing anyone down the line.
