Depends on what rule set you are playing under. If it is ASA then they want you to go parallel with the base line between 2 and 3rd (start toward the 3B foul line) and then move to a position to get a clear view of the play.

The theory is if you move parallel with the 3B foul line in a large number of plays you are going to be forced to try and see through the defensive player to see a tag, not possible. By moving parallel to the base line from 2-3 it allows you to get to a position where you can adjust as necessary as the play develops to get an unobstructed view of the tag.
