dash,
I don't think 6.05h is typically applicable to the situation being discussed here.
1) The topic of 6.05h refers to hitting or bunting a fair ball. It seems obvious to me (and others) that the entire rule applies when the ball is struck by the bat.
2) 6.05h comment refers to a play, so the rule also depends on the meaning of "play". IMO, a catcher attempting to catch a pitch is not normally a "play". It probably would be part of a play of a runner were stealing, however, since one way to define a "play or attempted play" is an attempt to retire a runner.
