Now, I do agree it sounds like OBS. I also think it is important that we not focus on ordinary effort when we protect a fielder.

I'm not sure I understand why she'd have to be able to make the play. If the ball hits the ground before she gets there, she's going to field it anyway, no? To prevent the runner from going home?
