First, on a hit to RF, you want to be inside the diamond, toward 2nd base, if possible.
Occasionally (shallow RF, rocket shot, quick play) you can get pinned like you did in foul territory. If the ball gets away like you describe, I would now treat it like you would a bunted ball being fielded. You are outside, ball is inside, you stay outside. If BR went for 2nd, stay outside, and make the call from about where a normal F4 starts.
Question -- who is PP?
