What hasn't been stated in this post is that the catcher stepping out and touching the ball before it reaches home plate is only CO if it stopped/hindered the batter from an attempt to hit the ball. In my experience, that isn't a given; in most cases where a ball rolls toward home, the batter will make no effort to hit the ball, and MAYBE is more interested in having the ball hit her!!

So I'm not jumping to rule CO unless I actually have it.
