I say No, you don't...

For example, on a base hit to the outfield, BU always turns his back to the ball. What's the difference?

In 2- or 3-man (when U3 goes out), the Sally Look (I believe that's what they called it in camp) is becoming acceptable when watching BR touch 1B as you're headed to the infield, anticipating a throw to 2B. We were told to look over our left shoulder at the BR touching 1B as we're cutting across. Yes, make it obvious so that the coaches and players see you looking.

It's not exactly Belly To The Ball, but it's not the idiotic pivot we were required to do for so long, either.
