I captured the play in question from the longer video and added slow motion. The new video is posted here:

YouTube - Play at the plate

I think an argument could be made for an obstruction call against the pitcher. Without possession of the ball, he caused the runner to alter his stride before reaching the plate.

Also, I don't see this as malicious contact with the catcher.
