The way the rule reads, it's obstruction. But, you gotta let the players play. This case is one of the exceptions where the rule doesn't cover all the bases. Maybe adding a few extra words into the rule would help on this. I think it oughtta be a train wreck, but I have to call OBS because of the wording of the rule.

Speaking ASA
If the throw drew the defender into the path of the runner, then there would be a question.
Point here is that the defender failed to control the ball and lost it into the runner's path. I see no reason to hesitate on an obstruction call, the runner did everything right and the defender didn't.
