The ball was deflected by the pitcher, so any interference has to be intentional. i did not see anything intentional on the part of the runner.
Under ASA rules, I have obstruction on the second baseman (and I am putting my arm out immediately). Under NFHS rules, I do have an interference call as F4 is in the process of making the "initial play". The deflection of the ball by the pitcher is a moot point for this ruleset.

The video looks like definite hindrance, by whom is just a question of which rule as Andy and others said. If deflection off the pitcher overides "fielding a batted ball", then it looks like OBS. If not, it looks like INT. Then, whether intent matters in one rule set or the other affects the call and of course whether the umpire judges it intentional.
