Just curious

I need some clarification while in the C position. R3 , ground ball to F6 who goes to F3 for out. Where should the BU be positioned to make call at 1st? I find myself sometimes getting caught moving away from throw. My Bad!!

Part of this depends on the number of outs and the specific runner configuration (because you need to be ready for the next play), but moving into the working area is a good bet. If there is only R3 and two outs, you could also move more toward the edge of the grass between first and second -- especially if F6 charges the ball.

In any event, stay out of the way of the throw.
