Personally, I would not call obstruction on this play but I can see where one could rule obstruction based on the newer, more stringent standards.
Somehow, I don't think this is the type of play the rulesmakers intended to eliminate when they revised the obstruction standard.
An umpire who would call obstruction in this scenario, in my opinion, is
looking to make a call. Ticky tack.
