The OP provides an interesting question.
If a fielder beyond the base/plate but in the extended/continued "base path" of the runner, and close enough to the base/plate to not allow avoidance after the base/plate is OBS?
Of course, the corollary question is if the runner does not deviate, is colliding with the fielder after the base/plate subject to the same criteria as before the base for interference or malicious contact?
