This is only true for one circumstance and only in 2-man. If the initial play is at 2nd base with R1 only and if R1 is safe and a throw goes to first base then the PU would have R1 at third. In this case, however, it is incredibly unlikely that there will be a RLI. I might even say impossible, but...
The reference is 2012 CCA manual pp. 65-66.
However, with a ground ball with no throw to second base the CCA manual p. 67 changes the responsibilities as follows:
Quote:
PU: remains in the area of the plate to judge fair/foul and any interference possibilities between BR and the catcher. PU then moves toward the first-base line to observe potential running-lane interference. [italics added] PU communicates to U1 that he is remaining on the line.
U1: Has all plays at first, second or third base.
