Obstruction?

[CHSUmp97]

The only problem with this rule isn't any part of the rule itself. The issue is when someone makes coaching decisions base upon the OBS call instead of how the play is actually occurring on the field in front of them

It’s really no different than when a batter hits the ball and there was catcher obstruction, or when the pitcher delivers an illegal pitch and the ball is put in play. The offense realizes they have a chance to take risks where they otherwise would not.

Bottom line, the fielders just need to stay out of the runners’ path until they have the ball.
