Runner at 1st with one out. Pop fly hit to left and caught by the left fielder. Meantime runner was stealing but throw was made back to 1st to double up the runner.
Question
Who has the call on the pop fly and who has the call on the throw back to 1st?

The call? Do you mean what ump makes what call?

PU has the batted ball, the BU has the base runner

Yes. Which umpire makes what call?
I believe the home plate ump has the call for out on the catch (watching the outfielder). And the base ump is responsible for the runner (leaving early, tagging up, or getting back).

Does that help?
