The wording of the rule needs to be changed to say that you cannot intentionally obstruct the base runner in order to get a tagout you would not get without the obstruction.
Now that replays are strictly reviewed and now that breaking up DPs and running over catchers is severely limited. That was bullshit for the Yankee SS to risk injury to Witt's hand, and having the ball already really does not make the blocking off the base okay.
