What aboutthis rule from MLB.com?
"7.07 If, with a runner on third base and trying to score by means of a squeeze play or a steal, the catcher or any other fielder steps on, or in front of home base without possession of the ball, or touches the batter or his bat, the pitcher shall be charged with a balk, the batter shall be awarded first base on the interference and the ball is dead."
I've called this at lower levels and if the batter had swung the catcher would have had a headache, ribache or broken arm.
