F3 (or whoever is covering 1st) is going to be stepping towards 2nd to catch this ball. The throw, if it is to pull the fielder off, is most likely going to be either high or towards 2nd.

Standing in the baseline is not the best angle for this, as the fielder's body is in between you and the bag.

That being said, this is where Evans (and I believe Wendlestadt) and PBUC (at least initially) want their umpires in the 2 umpire system. I can not speak to what they may prefer with 3 or 4 umpires, as you no longer have to worry about staying ahead of the play into 2nd should the play advance in that direction.
