A partner & I where discussing the following situation (OBR):

Left handed batter with a runner on third base. Pitch comes, catcher attempts to throw to third base, batter does not move out of the batter box. Catcher adjust his throw to go around the batter and throw does not retire R-3, however is caught by third baseman.

Is this interference? Or is nothing?

Either I can't read or you surely messed this up. And don't say "don't call me shirley."

A LH batter is no were close to the left side of the field , when batting in the box.

Why would the catcher have to throw around the batter??????

Might you mean a RH batter?

The batter does not have to get out of the way for a catchers throw, when there is a pitch. They can't get in the way.
