Forget the replay center is in New York. And opposing team is NYY....
The catcher is in direct act of receiving the ball. By rule, it's not blocking the plate. Plays similar to this happy daily. If you watch the reply closely only the catcher's left knee is on the baseline. It's a clear path to the plate for the runner.
