R1 on second, 2 outs. R1 attempts to steal third, catcher sets up to throw, batter steps backwards into the catcher (probably in an attempt to get out of the way).
Batter out.
Thanks in advance,

The rule you are looking for is ASA 7-6-P-1,
Quote:
The batter shall not hinder the catcher from catching or throwning the ball by stepping out of the batter's box.
EFFECT: The ball is dead, the batter is out and each runner must return to the last base that, in the judgment of the umpire, was touched at the time of the interference.
