batter interference

[jicecone]

Again, this was a HTBT situation however, how much difference would this be if a batter ducked on an inside pitch and stood up and interfered with the catchers throw. Whether or not the batter leaves the box is not relevant.

NFHS 7.3.5c "Interfere with the catchers fielding or throwing by: making any other movement including backswing interference , which hinders actions at home plate or the catchers attempt to play on a runner,or"

Even though it may have been a normal reaction to return to a position your body was originally in, the batters movement did interfere. Whether intentional or not.

IMO BI happens more times then it is called. Advantage Offense.
