Maybe this is just miscommunication.
If by "block" in that sentence, you mean the catcher was in the path of the runner and the runner contacted the catcher, then I agree with you - OBS. (And I would note that the runner's path DID alter - it was altered by the contact with the catcher).
If by "block", you merely mean that the catcher was in the path - but had no effect on the runner, then this is NOT OBS.
