OBR 6.06(c) footnote states:
If the batter strikes at the ball and misses and swings so hard he carries the bat all the way around and, in the umpire's judgement, unintentionally hits the catcher or the ball in back of him on the backswing before the catcher has securely held the ball, it shall be called a strike only (not interference). The ball will be dead, no runner shall advance on the play.
I think the key words here are "unintentionally," and "before the catcher has securely held the ball."
Usually this happens so quick, it is unintentional, and you have nothing, as stated above. I don't know if FED ruling is different.
