Professional manuals even define the parameters around "imminet."

We know that NCAA redefined what a first baseman can do on a pick off but all else remains.

I would be interested in seeing these parameters.
Does this mean that 1B has free range to purposely obstruct the runner coming back, as long as a play is imminet?
And if so, why dont we see more of it at the MLB level?

Because the runner also has "free range" (sic) to go in spikes first or crash through the fielder to get to the base. And, the fielder will have to bat soon and just might get 5.25 oz @ 90 mph in the ear.
