I guarantee it's not in ASA or OBR. Doubt it's in FED.

But alas, in Dixie, the craziest rulebook out there, you get 8.02F:

"(F) — When a pitched ball not struck at touches any part of the batter’s person or clothing while she is in the batter’s box. It does not matter if the ball strikes the ground before hitting her. The batter’s hands are not to be considered as part of the bat."

Of course, just as all the other rules that don't belong here are ... this is the section about BASERUNNING, not the section about BATTING.

If you ever can't find something in the Dixie book, look under the wrong section. (Catcher Obstruction on the batter is under baserunning! And, of course, they don't use the word obstruct - they use INTERFERE. Morons.)
