When F2 caught the ball he was already standing up and his left foot was on top of home plate and his right foot about 6 inches behind home plate.
So here is my question, is this catcher's interference resulting in R1 to 2nd and batter to 1st, or is it an illegal pitch for the catcher being outside of his box resulting in R1 to 2nd, or is it nothing?
Thanks

Ask yourself this: With the catcher standing on the plate how could the batter hit the ball if he chose to do so?
BTW aren't you glad the batter didn't swing and KO the catcher?
