Sorry to hear that. I actually learned something, and that is that only NCAA Softball recognizes visual obstruction. It doesn't exist in ASA, and probably not in NFHS either.

Will I ever see it in a game? Probably not. But, heck, probably 80% of the stuff we discuss here I'll never see. Does that mean I shouldn't waste my team reading about those situations. Not if I want to be prepared, just in case.
