Really? The BU is in between the first touch and the runner on 1B. That is to say, the runner is
behind him. However quick he is to turn his head and eyes after first touch, he's still going to have to turn them.
The PU is behind both the runner and the defensive first touch. Everything's in front of him. The amount of head/eye turning he has to do is definitely less than that required of the BU.
Right?
