A fake tag occurs when a fielder without the ball deceives the runner by impeding thier progress; for example, causing a runner to slide, slow down or stop running.

Under Rule 1

FAKE TAG: A form of obstruction by a fielder who attempts to tag a runner without the ball and thereby impedes a runner advancing or returning to a base.

Obviously, mere deception is not enough; there must also be an attempt to tag the runner without the ball, although it is pretty rare situation for the runner to have the ball!

Just because it wasn't a fake tag, doesn't mean it isn't obstruction.

True, but it means it wasn't a fake tag.
