Obstruction..or not?

[wadeintothem]

I'll admit, getting a solid firm handle on the new ASA ob is still a work in progress for me..

I'll post it the definition here (from 1) and we can discuss where I have it wrong.

Paraphrase: OB is the act of hindering the runner by DEF...
(Contact not necessary)
Exact: (by)

B. A fielder, who is not:
1. In possession of the ball.
2. In the act of fielding the ball.

I take 2 to address the fielder pulled into the line of the runner by a throw..

That could be where I have it wrong.
