I have found that generally you will get more throws to 3rd in the JV and younger levels and that is usually when I will be in the C position. Perception is, your closer to the play. So it requires a couple steps here or there to also get in position for the throw at first and again perception prevails.

Varsity and above there is by far less pickoff attemps at 3rd. I am in usually in B regardless of outs, with only R3. That "occasional" throw from F2 is an easy call from the B position.

What is right or wrong? Beats the hell out of me, as can be seen above. One thing for sure though, you have to get your butt in position to make the call no matter where it is. Head for the mound and put yourself in a position that is almost equi-distance from all bases no matter what position you start from. Picking a position and standing there like growing grass is going to get you in trouble sooner or later period.
