This would seem to be true (ASA) from the way the rule is written (ASA 1 - OBSTRUCTION B-1) <font color=blue>Obstruction is the act of a fielder who is not in possession of the ball...</font>
Are there any cases where a fielder can have the ball and still be guilty of obstruction against a runner? (Leaving out obstruction of the batter). |
I'm not aware of any instance when a fielder who has the ball can obstruct. Though, I do seem to remember some clinic discussion about either F1 or F3 making a feet first sliding grab of a bunt near the 1B line and tripping the B-R after gloving the ball. I'd have to think that could be either an obstruction or unsportsmanlike call - depending on what it looked like.
