    7.08b says this?

    NOTE: A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not);

     

    What if the runner doesn’t get hit by the ball, but blocks (hinders the fielder) the view of the ball and causes the filder to not see the ball and be able to make a play on the ball.   Is this a violation of this rule?
