I am assuming she is waiting on the ball as she has not yet tried to apply the tag. Ideally I would like to see the catcher about a foot back out in front of the plate. This way there is no doubt she is not blocking the plate and is in a good position to apply a tag without putting herself at risk.Her foot being in fair territory wouldn’t necessarily mean she isn’t blocking the plate, as the plate itself is in fair territory.
In the pic I would say obs. I agree it’s a terrible slide but the catcher is blocking the front left corner of the plate seemingly without the ball putting herself in a compromising and totally avoidable position.
