Batter-Runner ruling
 

When is the batter-runner called out for being hit by a thrown ball from the catcher. MLB interpretation please.

Thanks

When he commits a running lane violation.

......or when he intentionally interferes with the throw.

BR is out. Ball is dead, runners return. OBR 606c
If BR interferes on a play at home, with a runner trying to score, runner is out if less than 2 outs) with 2 outs BR is out. No runs scores. OBR 708g

It is interference by a batter or a runner when in running the last half of the distance from home base to first base while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line and, in the umpire’s judgment, interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, or attempting to field a batted ball.
