Batter Interference

[Thane Yennie]

Jim,

So you are saying that the batter by crouching (ducking) is actually in violation and should be called out on interference?
In my original play, being last summer (I have trouble remembering yesterday BG), I can't recall the actual placement of the batter. It seems the batter (RH) stepped backwards out of the box (1/2 step) after the pitch and the catcher took a crow hop towards third before releasing the ball, and ran into the batter. This is definitely something we need more clarification on. Anymore help out there??
