With a runner on third, the pitcher goes into the full wind up. Spotting the runner going home, he delivers a fast ball to the catcher.
The pitch is a called strike.
The catcher gets the ball and goes to tag the runner coming home. The batter stays in the batters box between the catcher and the runner until the play is over.
Is this interference on the part of the batter or not?

Typically on a steal of home there is little time to vacate the box. Just be certain he doesn't make any purposeful movement to put himself between the catcher and runner.
Vacating the box is generally expected on a ball that is uncaught by the catcher.
Just my opinion,
