Batter Interference?

[carldog]

Just want to make sure I understand this one for Fed ball:

"the backswing of the batter hits the catcher"

a) no baserunners = dead ball, strike,

b) with baserunner Stealing = batter out , runners do not advance

c) with baserunners not stealing = dead ball, strike, runners do not advance

Is this correct?

What if the backswing was preceeded by batter hitting the ball fair?

Thanks!
