R1 stealing on the pitch. The pitch is low and the right handed batter lunges at it and misses badly. His swing carries his back (right) foot to the outside edge of home plate so he's practically straddling the plate. He makes contact with the catcher throwing to 2nd. R1 is safe at 2nd.
Is this an example of what we call "weak" interference in OBR where we should just send the runner back to first?
Would the ruling on this play be different in FED than in OBR?
