I do not umpire college baseball (but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, ; I coudn't resist) but I have a couple of friends that do, but they have told me that with runners on 1B and 3B (it does not matter whether the pitcher is LH or RH), if (a) the Batter is RH the BU should be in the B, and (b) if the Batter is in LH the BU should be in the C. The reasoning is that the position of the Batter dictates F3 will more likely attempt a pick-off of the Runner that does not have the Batter between him and the Plate, thereby putting the BU closer to the more likely Runner.

I hope that I didn't confuse anybody, .
