Can your fielder do this? Sure. But if he does, and it changes how F1 touches second base, it's obstruction.

When obstruction occurs, the ball becomes dead at the end of playing action and the umpire has authority to determine which base or bases shall be awarded the runners according to the rule violated (Exceptions 8-4-2c, 8-4-2d).
