Guys, the way I am reading this does not require a superhuman F1 nor a superslow runner. If the runner had to run wide enough due to the catcher's movement, and the play was not THAT far up the line, and the catch was received just after the runner was impeded, then F2 would have a closer shot to the plate than the runner.
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.
