Looking for a better angle

[AtlUmpSteve]

I don't do any USSSA, so cannot comment on their mechanics (assuming they even have any). But, based on ASA and most mechanics I know, you started off the wrong (right) shoulder of F6; without a runner on 3rd, you belong off the left shoulder of F6. That puts you closer to the most statistically likely plays at 2nd and 1st, and would have allowed you to step up on the play with F6, getting a better angle to see the attempted tag at 90 degrees, instead of 180. The third benefit is that you can, from there, get much closer to the long distance call at first, if F6 makes that play.

No reason to be to F6's left; you give up the snap pickoff at 2nd, get further from first, and (as you know now) lose the angle on a tag by F6.

No reason to move toward third unless (1) R1 is stealing on the pitch, or (2), F6 has turned and is committed to that throw. Moving in that direction makes all of the common plays (except those noted) even more difficult than your starting position.
