New NFHS Fielder Obstruction

Earlier we had discussed the new NFHS rule on a player obstructing a base without the ball.

We know the new rule is very similar to the NCAA rule now.

There was some concern by some on this page that the simple "trainwreck" situation would now be obstruction.

I was in a group that went through the official NFHS Power Point presentation Saturday and there is a slide that is specific to the "trainwreck" situation.

The slide says that "trainwrecks" can happen and if both players are doing their job there should be NO obstruction called.

Hope this eases some of your concerns.

Regards,
