If the bat swing was not a bonafide attempt to hit the ball ... it's not a strike.
That said, if it was not an attempt, it should be much more likely to be an attempt to interfere.

I'm not sure I would have changed this to a strike. Rather, I'd be telling coach to cut it out - that swinging the bat after the catcher is already starting to throw COULD be interference.
