Should this be called interferance, is the batter out. I do not think this is proper baseball edicate but some coaches allow this to happen. Am I just to sensitive? Of course old school baseball the runner performing these actions should be careful next time at the plate.

Lower levels (HS and under): Tell the runner to stop it. IF the coach asks why, tell him to look up 4.06(a)(3).
College and above: After the batter gets hit, he'll tell the runner to stop it himself.
