Very true. However, had he been in position to backup home plate, he likely would've been more directly behind home plate, somewhat shaded to the third base side to align with where the throw from the Muncy was coming, and would not have been anywhere near where the ball actually ended up (much more towards the 1st base side of behind-the-plate foul territory) after deflecting off of Smiths' glove... Doubtful his failure to back up on the play made a difference.
