The "first play" refers to an infield play, not a relay from the OF. Larry has it right. With multiple runners, the PU has the lead runner at 3B and the plate. However, the BU should always be prepared to help with any difficult plays or on a snap throw back. On the play above, it would depend on how close F1 was to the plate.

If F1 was closer to the plate, the PU may needs to lean toward the plate, but that is where the BU enters the "be ready to help your partner" mode.
