If the fielder or catcher being positioned in the base path is the reason the runner can't get to the base; isn't that OBS? If the defender is not blocking and would have had to move into the block, it is not certain that the defender would accomplish the block with the ball. That means being in the base path originally creates an advantage for the defender, hence a disadvantage/impedance for the runner.
