Catcher's interference and a balk. Score the run, put the batter on 1st. Doesn't matter what the pitch would have been and it doesn't matter if the batter swings (unless he puts the ball in play).

So in this situation if you are HP and the catcher stays put you call ball/strike? But if he comes forward that's when you have CI?

If the catcher comes forward, how can you call the pitch? It never reached the plate, and the ball has to do that to be ruled either a Ball or Strike.

And I hope the batter doesn't swing in this case, cuz he's liable to clock the catcher in the back!
