Despite having possession of the ball, a fielder may still obstruct. It's been done and it's been called.

Batted ball to right side of mound. F1 fields it and falls. With ball in glove, he reaches out and trips runner with bare hand.

MLB ruling: Obstruction.
Evans ruling: Obstruction
PBUC ruling: Obstuction.
