Speaking ASA
A batted ball has no given status until an event involving the ball as listed in the definitions of Fair or Foul occurs. 8.2.F.1 clearly notes the BR is out if interfering with a defender attempting to field a batted ball. A batted ball is any pitched ball which contacts the bat and "lands" in either fair or foul territory. Please note that it states where the ball lands, not that is applies a status to the ball in doing so. Yes, this is a different requirement for INT than that applied to a runner, but it is what it is and I suspect it is maintained as such to address the scenario prevented in the OP
