Please help me with an official baseball rule on this situation.--R1 on second, batter at the plate. R1 attempts to steal and batter standing in the batter box makes no attempt to move in any way out of the catcher's way to make a throw to 3rd to get R1 out. Ball is thrown over 3rd baseman's head and R1 continues to home to score. Is there a rule for batters interferance of the catcher attempting to make an out on the batter stealing. Must the batter in the umpires opinion at least make an attempt to get out of the way of the play to 3rd. Please supply MLB rule number if possible.
