Runner on second, ball hit up the middle, short stop reacts to the ball being hit and contact is made with runner. The pitcher actually fields the ball but the SS initial reaction to the hit caused the collision. If pitcher does not field the ball SS would have. What is the call?

Obstruction, only 1 fielder gets protected from committing obstruction when fielding a batted ball. Since the pitcher actually fielded the ball, that is the player that is protected, SS is guilty of obstruction.
