"1. You are correct. Unlike every other baseball rule code, FED defines the defense's hindrance of the batter's opportunity to legally bat a pitch as "obstruction" rather than "interference". Hey, it's their rules, they can call it whatever they like."

Hey, at least they're consistent. The offense interferes and the defense obstructs. OBR follows that 98% of the time.
