Every once in a while we will encounter a short stop who will hold a runner on second and then leave the bag and go in front of the runner trying to block the runners view as he goes back to his position. What would be the call if when the shortstop passes to the third base side of the runner the runner breaks to third trying to steal and runs into the short stop? I am assuming it would be fielder interference and the runner would get the bag.
In FED, the mere screening of the runner is OBS.
