Runner at first attempting to steal 2nd, throw down from the catcher. The throw carries the fielder into the path of the runner, runner has to try to slide around the fielder to get to the bag, as the runner begins to go around the fileder the ball arrives, the fielder makes the tag. Due to the fielder being in the runners path prior to having the ball even though the throw took him into the runners path, is this obstruction by the fielder?
I know you can not set up in the base path to take a throw, but what about a throw that takes you into the base path?
