First - the title of the thread seems to indicate there's a steal going on... but you don't mention this in the post itself. Was R1 stealing?

If not, I have nothing - no play to interfere with - so no interference. Ball on the batter - no HBP.

If so, you could definitely make the case for interference.

You could, but you don't. ASA has made the interpretation that they are not going to start ringing up cheap outs for something SP players have been doing for years. If the batter catches the ball, stops it with a foot or bat, you simply kill it and move any advancing runner back to where they were at the TOP.
