It's easy to analyze after the fact when you can pause and rerun in slo-mo. This gets really close to becoming an announcer.
Just kidding. At least we know the rules...
My very first thought was $-!+ happens. It looked to me like the collision wasn't that bad and maybe the catcher was faking. It looked like the runner tried to avoid contact. After watching it multiple times, I can see the catcher lunging into it ever so slightly. My ruling---Play on. Runner is out on tag.
