Footwork on pickoff for LHT 1B

[Gags]

Trying to work with our 12U lefty 1B (as well as my oldest, also LHT).

Is there a typical footwork pattern for getting back to the bag to receive the throw from the C?

I’m thinking the ending position to receive the ball would be almost sideways - back facing the base, chest to the pitchers circle (~45 degs?), to allow for a swipe tag back to the base.

Is there a movement pattern that’s usually taught? (Like a drop step, or crossover + shuffle, etc.?)

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sort of addresses the question, but not really the footwork aspect of it. Could be just a rare enough play that it's more a matter of "getting there" than HOW you get there.
