Well, if its a 'wild pitch' by definition the pitcher has thrown a pitch which in the scorer's judgment could NOT be fielded by the catcher. Nevertheless, when a catcher is trying to field a pitch he will always try to keep the ball in front of him to make it hit his chest protector. If its to his right, the next question is where the batter is standing. If its a right handed hitter, the catcher will just throw, but if its a left handed hitter, theoretically the catcher may not have a clear throwing line to third and will most likely step forward to make the throw.

Why are there no left-handed throwing catchers in baseball?
A left-handed throwing catcher would have a harder time throwing runners out at third, since it's easier to throw across your body, a right hander to his left, and a left hander to his right. This is the same reason that there are no left handed second basemen, shortstops, or third basemen, since their most common throw (to first base) is to their left. A left handed catcher would have an easier throw trying to pick a runner off first. Also, since most batters hit right handed, a left handed catcher would more commonly find the batter slightly in his way as he tried to throw down to second.
