lets see
While I would agree that it is the base umpire's call up the line, why wouldn't the plate umpire be able to assist in the tag if he/she sees it. A simple point and vocal of "tag" would aid the base umpire who is running into the diamond to get position for the play. This could prove especially beneficial on a tag to the side of the runner. Front and back tags would be better seen by the base umpire but a tag to the runners side would not be nearly as easy to see and call from the bases.
