This has gotten all butchered up. On a passed ball or wild pitch, the person that was standing at the plate is no longer a batter. He is now treated as an offensive teammate. From J/R:
Examples of an "offensive teammate" include:
a) a batter after a pitch has gone past the catcher (such batter is no longer trying to bat the pitch, and is treated as an "offensive teammate" in a determination of whether interference has occurred).
To be interference by an "offensive teammate", the player is guilty of interference if he "blatantly and avoidably hinders a fielder's try to field a fair or catchable batted ball or thrown ball."
If the batter has gotten out of the box, it is the judgment of the umpire if he should have gotten out of the way of the throw. Note the interference is with fielder's try to field the thrown ball. In other words, if the pitcher is not covering the plate on this play, the OT (offensive teammate) has not interfered with anyone or anything. The interference is not with the throw, it is with the ability to catch the throw.
Also note, it makes NO DIFFERENCE if the former batter, now OT, leaves the box or stays in the box. If he "blatantly and avoidably" hinders the fielder's ability to catch the throw, we have interference. If he stays in the box when he had a reasonable chance to get out and he gets in the way, interference. If he leaves the box and gets in a spot to break up the play, interference.
If there is interference, the runner being played on is out, unless there were two outs, in which case the batter (now OT) is out (7.09d).
Example from J/R:
R3. 0-1 pitch goes wild past the catcher, and the batter stands back to signal his teammate to run home. The ball ricochets sharply off the backstop, and the catcher is able to retrieve it quickly, and tries to throw R3 out at home. The batter, seeing that his teammate may now be thrown out, returns to the vicinity of the plate and knocks down the throw just as the pitcher is about to receive it: the runner is out, unless there were two outs, in which case the batter is called out and the run does not count.
Remember, the defense is the ones that screwed up here by getting the pitch past the batter to start this mess. The benefit of the doubt goes to the offense. Unless the batter does something blatant and avoidable, this isn't the batter's problem. A batter that does a reasonable job of getting out of the way is not guilty of interference.
In your case, unless the former batter (now OT) did something to specifically put himself in the way, this is nothing, score the run. If he did deliberately put himself in the way, the runner is out unless there were two outs, in which case the batter is out. Remember, who caused the problem? The onus is on them to solve their own mess. Don't give the defense a break on their screw-up.
