This is the way I was taught!!! Use your pitching plate as a point of reference in B and make slight adjustments.

Similarly, while in C, don't let the position of the SS take you closer to 2B than necessary. If needed, move to 3B side of SS. You don't want be caught chasing down an advancing runner into 3rd, you will end up getting straight-lined and guessing most of the time.
