Huh? Fly balls to right (outside the V) are the PU's responsibility...

Quote:
on your play, how can the PU call the runner out if the ball is being caught in right field? If he's "begin tagged" then its Type A and you kill the play on the spot, no 'out' call, point him to the plate. If its Type B, you never had a chance to call him out to begin with, he scores (if the ball doesnt get to the plate before he crosses it).

Yes, i agree this is the correct way to handle the situation, but the problem is- you as the PU are watching the catch/no catch and the fair/foul and don't see the obstruction.

But others have made it clear that you can reverse your call after the fact.
