Right.
But:
1) The bold heading on this section says "When Batter or BR is out"
2) The section itself says "A batter is out"
3) Many of the 22 specific ways say "the individual"; this specific rule says "batter"
4) Rule u. also says "batter" but clearly refers to BR (it's the dropped third strike rule)
So, while *I think* this rule shouldn't apply, it's possible that someone in the NCAA thinks differently.
I do hope they address is, w/o throwing the umpire under the bus.
Had it been strike 3 instead of ball 4, and the batter's movement was the same, would we have interference? Does it matter?
