Obstruction Question
Getting back to baseball officiating now. I have a simple question about a play and would like to hear how you would handle it.
FED rules.....R2 only......F1 makes a legal pickoff attempt of R2..... Both F6 and R2 break to the bag with R2 getting back just before the throw.... throw is nearly out of the reach of F6 as he dives back.....F6 dives for the bag deflecting the ball to the area just behind F4, and in doing so he lands on top of R2.
I just saw this happen in the Oklahoma/Missouri game.
My question is do you call the obstruction? I know this sounds simple, and maybe it is. My hang up is with the OBS differences between FED and OBR.
Tim.
