Your chance to wipe out a bad mechanic

FP...C position, less than 2 outs, R1 on 2B, ground ball to F6 who fields it and comes up looking to start her throw to 1B after:

(1) looking R2 back to 2B
(2) "freezing" R2 who is a few steps off of 2B
(3) R2 has run by her enroute to 3B

What's the "mindest", the thought process, for the possible play at 1B, distance or angle?
