The question I was trying to explore is what would be the correct call if the ball had NOT hit the bat?
BI? CI? "Weak interference"? Something else?
What's the call and why? Just like the video, only the ball doesn't hit the bat.

Well, I think if batter pulls his bat back and makes contact with catcher, in any manner, that causes catcher to miss catching a pitch, when a runner is stealing, a good case is made for BI.
