Does the rule book not state contact is not necessary for INT? Does the rule book state there must be a throw for INT to be called?
Should a catcher concede to injury for the sake of an INT call? If I'm the catcher stepping up to make a throw to a base and catch a bat coming at me in my peripheral range of vision, are people suggesting I have to take the hit in order for the batter to interfere with the play? But if I avoid contact with the bat and cannot get a timely throw off, the defense is permitted to be successful in interfering with the play through what could be an assault on a player?
