BU has primary responsibility for play on BR returning to 1B. (In fast pitch, pick offs are attempts by the catcher to throw out a runner who has taken too big a lead on a pitch that is not hit.) Depending on the placement of runners ... and thus, the starting position of the BU ... the PU may indeed have a better angle for a play on the BR returning to 1B, but it is still the BU's responsibility.
