If the batter was doing everything possible to get out of the way, no interference. Batter did not interfere with the fielders he interfered with the ball. Interference with a thrown ball must be intentional. If you think he was deliberately slow in getting out of the way, or intentionally getting in the way, interference.

Once the catcher/pitcher err, batter interference rule is not in effect, they get one free chance to make the play cleanly, after that 7.11 and 7.09(l) are in effect (get out of the way of the fielders and don't intentionally interfere with the ball.)
