I played ball in Illinois and seldom saw it happen. If it did, it was enforced.
I have umped in Texas since 1980. I noticed immediately in moving here that it batter interference is abundant (and many don't call it unless it is can be seen in Cleveland).
I assumed it is moreso based on the locale of the country and the degree to which it is enforced. I will bet money I can see a batter interference with the batter coming across the plate to get in the catcher's way in at least 1 of 3 if not 1 of 2 Fed games.
I will bet money on that with anyone coming through town.
Even money on the 1 of 3 games.
