Ok, you would definitely know better since you were there if he was doing something intentional or not. His actions just sounded a little fishy to me when I read it.

I don't believe it was BI, and besides, he is allowed to swing at it...he's supposed to swing at it to help make the throw more difficult...

Yes, he can swing at it, as long as he's making a legitimate attempt to hit the ball. He cannot, however, swing to "make the throw more difficult" AFTER THE BALL IS IN THE CATCHER'S MITT. He is no longer swinging to hit the ball, but swinging to intentionally interfere with the catcher's throw, which would be interference.
