I usually look for the runner running on the pitch. If there is a delayed steal on and the ball is in the dirt, I rule WP.

One of the reasons I hate scoring from anywhere other than as close to right behind the plate as possible, is that its very difficult to watch the pitch and at the same time be able to keep the runners in your peripheral vision prior to the pitch being delivered.

I prefer to be behind home plate as well. Sometimes it isn't possible due to seating configurations, but I find if I'm behind home plate, I'm "in my comfort zone". I can see the whole field, see the runners moving and have consistent reference for the ordinary effort calls.
