7.09 is a good start (I don't know what an OBR Case Book is, but I digress).

The first thing you need to establish is the type of contact that occured. If it was incidental, we have nothing, play on. If the batter intentionally ran into him, you've got another thing altogether. I've never seen a catcher purposely try to obstruct a batter/runner on this type of play. He is usually too busy trying to field the ball to get caught up in any shenanigans. That said, there's always a first tme and I'll be on my toes.


I know that I've seen this question a few times before.
