In order to call Obstruction you'd have to believe that the fielder standing there altered the decision making of the runner in some way. That the runner slowed down, altered her path or chose not to go because F3 was standing on the plate. We don't see that in the frame and judging by how much time there is between the ball being caught and the tag, I don't think it had any effect.Any thought to the fielder who catches the ball and makes the tag being in the baseline too long before she receives the ball. I get once she has the ball she can block the line or home plate. But she was blocking the line and plate for a good few seconds before receiving and securing the ball. Just a question to think about. I think it was a good play myself.
that is where i ended up in that sense since we cannot confirm where runner is part of the problem i mean personally wasn't my video i just got off TikTok i don't know if it good play or not as we ignoring what we can't see at this age a lot of them get confuses what to do when this happensAny thought to the fielder who catches the ball and makes the tag being in the baseline too long before she receives the ball.

Based on the video, you cannot make a determination on obstruction as you cannot see the runner. You have no idea if the runner altered her path, slowed down, decided to slide early, etc. This may or may not be obstruction.
