Speaking ASA

INTERFERENCE. The act by an offensive player or team member, umpire or spectator that impedes, hinders, or confuses a defensive player attempting to execute a play. Contact is not necessary.


Note, an out need not be imminent.
But a play does, and a play means an attempt to retire a runner or BR. The umpire judgment would be... was there a play at the time R1 tapped the ball?
