Did the runner slow down before the ball got between the runner and the catcher? Could this be a form of OBS? Some of the threads I read say if the runner slows because the baseline is blocked this is OBS.
The "about to receive" condition effected by the ball being between the runner and the fielder is no longer operative in ASA. However, the play I described did take place when that stipulation was still in the book.
In this case, though, F2 caught the ball and then moved to block the plate. The runner was not nearly close enough to have been forced to slow down.
