Theory behind B and C positions

[Kevin Finnerty]

Most of the guys I work with choose between the two based on what we think is most likely to happen, just like your question described.

We go against the book at times.

I'm only in B with runners on first, first and third, or bases loaded. Everything else is C with runners on. Personally, I don't have a problem making a call on a play at first when I start in C. Just gain some ground toward first and get a good angle and you're fine. I did notice tonight that if a ball is hit to F6 and he has to charge it, you had better be ready to move if you're in C if he is going to throw to first.
