I see this as obstruction but wanted to get thoughts on it. The Call was no obstruction.

Adding short clip from my dropbox



Also adding another clip which besides the catcher dropping the ball and still being called out, I see it as obstruction as well

In the NCAA, that's obstruction. Anywhere else, it could be, but not yet based on this still shot.

The runner's progress is not yet impeded.

Technically yes depending on ruleset but the throw looks like it is beating the runner by five steps or more that is never getting called.

Not even close to obstruction unless catcher misses the throw and ends up impeding the runner.
