The PU was so concentrated on the ball and throw to 2nd, he did not notice it. After the game while discussing that play, he said the catcher questioned him about it, but he did not see what I saw.
I understand how this hinders the catcher, but if it's where the batter was holding the bat during the pitch, is it "actively"?
