This should be covered in pre-game, but rarely is. We give that call to the BU, reasoning, as catcher comes up, she may blok PU's view. Distance to play is about the same, angle from PU may have a better angle. Also BU should take first play on infield, that would be it. The Blues I work with all do well together and will "defer" to partner as needed.
Did a 3 man state playoff recently and had play at 3B. PU was coming up to take call as had been discussed in pre-game, I followed play down and had clear view. PU, unsure of call, points at me and calls my name. I made the call and we never missed a beat.
Our pre-game for these games was a 1 hour drive to the school, and another hour or so in the locker room. Pre-game discussions really are important, they will keep you out of some trouble.
