The BU should have it. If the runner's on 2nd, they should be in C (FP). He can look at the PU raise their arm and look at the runner. Now, it's a different story if there are multiple runners on base.
Fly ball to centerfield? You're not buttonhooking in? Why not let PU take fly/tagup and have BU take runner into third? It would be a lot less work and worry for angles, and heck, PU has everything in front of them anyway!
