Closely confined field (backstop is only about 10-12 feet from home plate) R3 1 out. Fly ball down the right field line that is cookie cutting a fair or foul call. As PU do you move up the 1B line and let your parter get tag up? Do you back up to first base line extended and get both as best as possible?

You don't say if this is a little field or a big field but since the backstop is 10-12 feet away I am guessing little field. For little field go up the line about 15 feet to get the fair/foul/catch/no catch. Get the tag in your periphereal vision. Then hustle back to the plate for the play there. For big field you could go a little farther, just far enough that you still have 3B in your periphereal vision and time enough to get back to the plate. The most important call is fair/foul/catch/no catch and you have to be darn sure R3 left early based on what you saw in your periphereal vision to call that, because if the ball is deep enough it should be an easy score.
