RP - I thought about that initially as well, but didn't want to muddy it up, as OBS was not the intent of what the OP was trying to figure out.


But yeah - if he drops it and is still in the way, and runner reacts, you have OBS.

" The ball gets there, but the 3rd baseman drops it. He is in front of the bag."

Let's talk about obstruction, any thoughts?:)

yes, you have OBS. But, if the runner then jumps over the fielder, the runner is still out.

I agree, if in this situation the runner actually, hurdled, leaped or jumped, over a fielder not on the ground. You had to be there. Personally, I have never seen a pure case of this happening.

After seeing the initial description and subsequent description of this play, I rule...PLAY ON!
