Does the issue that F2 touches the ball prior to contact factor in with a possible non-interference?
In another sich, lets say, catcher is on the plate, ball beats runner who slides, ball hits catchers glove( but pops out unseen by F2) immediately he kneels to sweeptag runner, causing runner to stop short because he slide into F2's knee. F2 picks up ball and then tags.
I've pictured the rule change to penalize a fielder who interferes/blocks access before catching the ball, but what if the ball beats the runner but bounces off the defense's glove before contact?
