Positioning Questions

[Steve M]

Your best position on the pick-off is a 90 degree angle.

From the C position with the pick-off at 2B, I am going to move parallel to the path in the hope/expectation of getting to that 90 degree angle.

From the C position with the pick-off at 3B, I am moving into the 2B-to-3B path so that I get a 90 degree angle to the play.

Understand that I am using the 20-40 approach and my working in between pitches has me moving toward the most likely play. And when that play does happen, I will be in position with a really good angle and look at the play.
