I would suggest you exit right, but come through the LH batter's box and get an angle on the play from inside the diamond and adjust as the play unfolds. From here, you are not in the middle of any possible play. You are prepared to take the runner back to 3B. Should there be other runners in another scenario, you are prepared to see any possible subsequent play, yada, yada, yada.
