1st question of the season

[UMP25]

According to an OBR interpretation, if the pitcher is hovering over a ball to see if it goes fair or foul and the BR makes contact, it's neither interference nor obstruction.

This would to make sense, because the pitcher is not actually fielding the ball (interference), and he's not totally out of the picture and irrelevant to the play (obstruction). Therefore, there's only one logical option left: no penalty either way.
