I'll let someone else address your question, but I just want to give a quick reminder that even when obstruction occurs, malacious contact would not be acceptable.

I can't comment on how POEs might address the change of deleting "about to receive," but I do want to reinforce what Dan just wrote... regardless of whether the fielder was obstructing, malicious crashing into the fielder is USC, and in the case play added last year, is an OUT.

Which reminds me, Mike, is that case play (10.8-1) going to be codified in a rule this year?
