As was earlier posted, I would not call this unless the batter made some attempt to swing. I don't think we can really call a "potential" obstruction call or at least defend the call if questioned. It would cure the catcher of crowding the plate though, but can we really tell him not to do that, if he has been coached to do so? CO is a risk they are taking.
