Questioning Catcher Obstruction. \\

Questioning Catcher Obstruction. USA Softball 8-1-D, #3 and #4
Have you seen #3 occur?
#4 – “(Fast Pitch) On a swing or attempted bunt, the catcher or any other fielder prevents the batter from hitting the ball, touches the batter or their bat with a runner on third base trying to score on a squeeze play or a steal

Why is squeeze play in #4 for Fast Pitch only? What about Slow Pitch with stealing?
In #4, does “touches the batter” require hindrance/impedance?

How do you distinguish between catcher obstruction and batter interference with a play at home plate?
