Partly, along with the chance of an out, although the OP was about BR, really thinking through batter interference. As far as I know, we have always said there has to be
something to interfere with, (i.e., a throw);
but first - wondering if we all agree, especially if the throw is clearly prevented by the batter being in the way
and second - with or without a throw, would the possibility of an out or not at the target base affect anyone's ruling?
Either way, no intent by batter.
Like I said, we have beated this to death in the past, but trying to reinforce or extend my understanding.
