Hard to tell as the 3rd baseman is right in the view. Sure the foot/leg moves in front of the base but cant really tell if the runner was impeded as the fielder is blocking the camera view. If she makes any contact with that leg/foot before she catches it then yes obstruction.
Probably a good non call out as the coach, who is also right next to the play, didnt look like he argued about the SS obstructing.
Another note, not a fan of the plate umpire trying to cop a feel of the players by sticking his hand out. Not the sharpest of mechanics
Same game, same SS, next inning. Same question, this time a straight steal of 2B. Time stamp 1:20:20.
SS is clearly set up in front of the bag before the ball arrives.
I don't have any particular issue with the players or crew, just looking fro clips for a training session.

Would not have obstruction there on that play of 2nd. That would be a textbook case of NCAA type of obstruction though thats been talked about in other post.
To me the fielder has the ball well before the runner can get impeded. Just started her slide too when she has the ball.
Lots of good clips and talking points for sure.
I can't tell for certain on the first one, but I'd definitely call her for obstruction on the play at 2B. Clearly in front of the bag before she has the ball and the runner clearly has to adjust her path to try and get around her.
Hard to see on the one you asked about, but the SS impedes her on the play before when she goes from 1st to 3rd on the bunt.
