Batter Interference?

R1 stealing. BR swings and misses and his momentum carries him into the path of the catcher hindering the catchers ability to throw to 2nd.

Is there an allowance for it being deemed unintentional or is it automatically interference on the batter?

If the batter interfered, he/she interfered - Intent is not a requirement.

Also, F2 DOES NOT have to actually make the throw in order for interference to be called.
