Stacey Nuvemann just attempted to protect a runner by swinging at a ball that seemed to be already being pulled out of the catcher's glove. Umpire ruled it a strike.

But it did not interfere with the catcher. For that matter, I'm not even sure the catcher realized Nuvey swung the bat.

This is a Jeopardy answer. The question I will leave to umpires who call this play INT to pose.
