Garth,

Bad choice of words on my part. I didn't mean the ball hitting batter, I meant catchers arm/hand/etc... hitting batter.

If the ball hits him, sorry batter, should have moved! Runner is probably safe anyway. No call.

If the the catchers body hits the batter, and you "READ" the play as the batter making no attempt to get out of the way...then I would have 6.06(c) "hindering the catchers play at home". And that play is the catcher making a throw.

But again, even in the pro's you see them duck. So use common sense, along with the rule book, and if you see the batter going from the crouch, to standing very tall and in the box as a runner who is clocked at a 5.5 sec 40 yd running...you going to believe there was no hinderance?

Thanx for the reply
