It sounds like you would say the original sitch would be an "obvious appeal". LF catching, throwing the ball in, SS catching, told to touch second, and touches the base with R1 on first.
Correct?

A common misconception is that there is something magical about the pitcher stepping off as part of an appeal. This is only necessary if the ball is dead and the ball then only comes to the pitcher so he can engage and the PU can make it a live ball.
The pitcher is not required to step off, either.
