Yes ............ as long as you judge the "swing" was an attempt to hit the ball. A "swing" that you judge to be an attempt to contact or interfere with the catcher is batter interference. Rarely true, and you better be SURE, but I hate "absolutes" in rulings.

To judge a swing to be interference on the batter ... you DARN WELL better be judging intent on the batter's part to hit the catcher and not the ball.

![]() What I am saying is interference requires an act of interference, not an intentional act of interference. If this was 16U A game, I can certainly see interference as a legitimate call. It's only "clearly" an attempt to swing because of the age and low level of play, IMO.
