Toledo said it, but didn't stress the 2nd item that's important to an OBS call, Hardtail. A catcher in the basepath without the ball is not yet obstruction. Said catcher has to cause the runner to deviate from her path (ie - go around, slow down, return, bump into, etc). If the catcher is there without the ball, runner is still a decent distance away and doesn't slow - you don't have OBS yet.
Had one umpire I was training call OBS when F2 merely crossed the baseline without the ball. Runner wasn't even looking at F2 when it happened, and the ball ended up coming in WAY before runner (runner never altered).
