No, "about to receive" does not mean that the ball will arrive before the runner. It means that if everything is somehow stopped, the ball must be closer to the fielder than the runner is.

Actually, 99.9999999999999999% of the time, that is exactly what happens.
"About to receive" means exactly what Tom posted, that at some point in time, the ball gets closer to the fielder than the runner.
I don't understand why everyone gets so up tight about this phrase.
