That is a tough call, and I have been there done that. Like you said HTBT, but I think you were probably ok with the no call. I hear what you are saying Mike, and I see it like this. Batter swings, misses for strike three, while still in the BB catcher starts to move forward to throw to third, and stops because batter is in her way. Batter has not completly left the BB yet, catcher now steps back to throw behind batter. I think the no call was OK.

But only if the batter was NOT out of the box yet. In the scenario, the batter got tangled with the catcher in front of home plate. I'm seeing that literally and that area is not part of the batter's box.

That would be the HTBT part.
