No disagreement with the above, but wondering what ASA means by "visual distraction".
Don't know where you are reading that in the book, but it would apply to a runner waving their arms when passing a fielder attempting to field a batted ball, or a runner waving his arms above his head in an attempt to interfere with a throw and possible distracting the recipient of the throw.

That was my thought, too, Mike - some obvious intentional act to disrupt the fielder's view. Where it is in the rule book is POE 32. Here is the sentence in question...

It (that is, interference) may be in the form of physical contact, verbal distraction, visual distraction, or any type of distraction which would hinder the fielder in the execution of the play.

No further explanation is given, and "visual distraction" is not in any of the case plays.
