As we can all see, softball and youth baseball are very different.
Stop! Go back and read that. Are you sure you didn't misquote the OBR? That is awfully vague to the point it flies in the face of the definition of obstruction.

I can understand their need to exempt an act like a player punching a glove or feigning an overthrow, but not a fake to the point a reaction can cause injury to a player.
