About This Trend
走塁妨害 is a baseball term referring to when a fielder illegally obstructs a baserunner's path, hindering their progress. It is a specific rule in the game designed to protect baserunners from unfair interference.
The term is trending due to a recent controversial incident in a Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Mets game. Dodgers' third baseman Gavin Lux was called for obstruction, overturning an out and allowing a run to score. This rare and disputed call has sparked significant discussion among fans and analysts, highlighting the impact of such rulings on game outcomes. .
