Part of the point I was trying to draw out. Just how far up the line did the runner adjust? Was the catcher actually in the way (which is why I noted the assumption of being in fair territory)?
If this was a runner rounding 3B and establishing a basepath prior to actually getting to the vicinity of the catcher, maybe it wasn't OBS.
