| Need more information. Did runner purposely time passing in front of the fielder to block their view of the ball? Did runner stop in front of fielder to block their view? Did runner give the fielder room to field the ball?

| Very much a judgement call, intent doesn't matter, runner has to avoid fielders opportunity to field ball

| RKB is correct, The information he asked is important to the call. That information is what makes an educated judgement call.

| Diasagree in only that intent does not matter, i.e. If the base runner interferes with the fielders opportunity to field the ball it is interference.See know your rules on the website. Otherwise I agree that it is a judgement call, but only if the fielder was interfered with
