Reaching out over the plate during the pitch is catcher's interference (OBR) or obstruction (FED). A swing is not required in this case.

If the batter and each runner do not all reach their advance base during the play, call time and enforce the penalty (batter to 1B, stealing runners advance, other runners advance only if forced).
