Question Who caused the collision?

The catcher or fielder has the right to the ball without "interference" in making the play. So if there is a collision, it sounds like the play was interference. But then again, how did the contact occur? I would only call obstruction in this situation if I feel the catcher made a deliberate effort to get in the way of the runner, then I might call obstruction.

Really hard to say without seeing the play. But I think you would have to call something.

Peace
