NO. If he interferes with the opportunity to make a catch at 1B.

"If he is 5 feet inside the diamond on the grass and the ball hits him 5 feet from getting to the 45' line, I will call him out!!! What is his intent?"

Sloppy base running. But even sloppier throwing. If the B/R is five feet on the grass, there is ample room to make a good throw to 1B.
