I like your statements, both legal and softball. But I would like to clarify your point about a batter ducking and tangling with F2.

I expect F2 to take a step in front of or behind the batter to find her throwing lane. IF she steps towards the batter, and that batter ducks or throws up her bat and does anything else to protect herself from a collision, then I am not calling BI. We can not allow F2 to create a penalty on the batter.

IMO, the onus is on the catcher to go around the batter, and if she does - then I expect the batter to become a statue.
