Is this catcher interference?

On the "CI on a pitchout" issue -- the farther the pitch is from the plate, the less likely the catcher is to interfere with a "possible" swing, so the less likely I am to get the CI, absent some contact.

And, on a practical matter, I don't think I've ever seen a play where I'd even consider CI without the standard "reasonably normal swing hits the catcher's glove."

That is a very perceptive and fair criticism, Bob. Thank you.
