Sweeten the pot if the batter puts bat on ball. You can't call it any other way, now can you?

Time! You, first base. You, call an ambulance.
Steven and Dash - No. I am not saying that or considering the action you described as CI (CO in FED). Please allow me to clarify. What I am saying is if the batter makes an attempt to strike the ball and the catcher interferes I have CI first, then an out for his being out of the box. To your point, if I judge the batter to be stepping out of the box and deliberately striking at the catcher in effort to induce CI then I am not giving him the base.
