In OBR its a dead ball, batter is protected to first, all runners move up one base from their TOP base. It doesn't make a difference if it hits the catcher. If it doesn’t go out of play it's a live ball and continuous action takes place. Let's say it's a third strike and not ball four. The batter would still go to first on the deflected ball going into DBT and the runners would move up one base from TOP.
