It is a baseball only thing!!! NFHS Baseball dropped the extended arm for Delayed Dead Ball 2 years ago.
I was doing baseball when they they dropped the DDB signal but I would still use it and most coaches where glad to see it used as they would be more aggressive to get the base knowing that they where protected.

NFHS Baseball also automatically awards the next base for Obstruction calls.

Insane Blue is probably referring to 8-3-2 that states if a runner is obstructed, the umpire will award base(s) to negate the obstruction. The award will be at least one base past the last base legally touched on the runner that was obstructed.
