I think that was already answered.
A fielder can begin the play wherever she wants. A fielder in the act of fielding a batted ball has the right-of-way (assuming this fielder is the one who, in the judgement of the umpire has the best play on the ball), and "fielding a batted ball" begins when she reacts to the ball being batted, regardless of speed or distance. It is not obstruction to just be in the way. At least not yet.
