Yep ... play is called the "skunk in the outfield".

A player may take his lead in any direction, but once he becomes set, he establishes a new baseline. He has to retreat either directly to 1st or proceed directly to 2nd from that point with no variance.

Defensing the play is pretty simple. Just pitch. He's too far off to advance to 2nd. If the ball is in play, he's easy to double off.
