I remember that play and thinking:
- whether the runner changed approach before on camera (i.e., impeded or not)
- where the ball was when the runner changed approach (i.e., did about to receive apply?)
- runner reached plate before ball arrived (frame 3, safe either way)
- anywhere but NCAA, OBS
- whether to consider INT if another runner played on
- wishing I could see the whole play

As I do not like resorting to HTBT, my TV perception was the ball is too late to be ABTR and the runner only slid to avoid the block, so OBS.

Umpire did signal OBS...it was discussed in another topic on this forum. Only debate was over who signaled the OBS at the plate, the PU or U1. Do you have a pic of the umpire on the play that you may have cropped out?

One of a list of things I thought at the time, knew it was OBS in HS, rec, etc. but only in NCAA we have to consider "about to receive".

Gotcha. However, this case meets the criteria for OBS in NCAA as well.

As above, "my TV perception was the ball is too late to be ABTR and the runner only slid to avoid the block, so OBS."
