While I am faster than the average umpire, it depends on the situation. Lets say that on a particular play you were not fast enough or even possible for anyone to be in the ideal position; that doesnt change the ideal position.
You asked where SHOULD you be. A 90 10-12 is ideal "by the book", sometimes I close from there on a tag play as it develops depending on what is happening.

Actually, I'd want to be as far up the 3B line as I could reasonably get and just inside the line. If this is a tag play, 90-degree angle to the tag. If this is a force play, then outside the line may be pretty good, so I've got a look at the throw being caught and the runner hitting the base.

If you go inside that far, you will get dinged on an eval. When they want you to think, they'll post it for you in the umpire manual.

Get to where you need to be at the best angle you can get. I've worked 6-man games that still didn't cover every possible angle imaginable, so don't worry about it and just do the best you can. |

Hey, boss...it wasn't me that came up with this crazy idea.
My partner was the one that presented this to me saying..."that's the way we are doing it in Texas." I just wanted to see if anyone else is doing or teaching that the BU has a call at third in the OP.

No need to get up in arms over being too far away on a fast-developing play. You'd be surprised how well you can see with just a good angle. |

Part of the positioning is going to be based on read & react. So, While I might get straightlined, it's not likely.
