Live ball, in my judgement the batter did not actively hinder the catcher. Batter has all rights to be in the batters box unless a play is being made at the plate . She did not hinder (move) to cause the throw to hit her. No intention needed. If runners were on base they are allowed to advance. I do not believe 7-6U Exception applies here as that batter did not interfere with the throw. The batter did nothing wrong in this example.

Not a dead ball

She is likely forward and out of the batters box (tough to tell with the terrible state of the field and lack of lines) so it's an easy interference call

This is the correct call all day long. I wish I had video of an umpire calling 2 consecutive batters out this same same play. The first one the batter stepped out of the box and the catcher never threw the ball as no one was covering third. The second batter called out stayed in the box and the catcher also never threw the ball. The first out I could see. The second not so much.

Ball is dead if hits batter in box on return throw meaning runner cannot advance from 3rd. Is batter out as well if it’s unintentional?

I'm not calling this interference.

Obstruction all the way

Easiest call ever.

Just teach your catcher to make contact with the batter anytime they stand up no more stolen bases.

Interference all day long

yes but not intentional

I know this is an old post and things might have changed, but at the approx 21:30 mark, top5th when you ask about re-entering #19, shouldn't that be disallowed until the bottom of the inning when the team goes back on defense? Is this a projected substitution? Perhaps this is allowed in USA and is code specific. Possible issue is, before #19 physically re-enters the game on defense, she gets sick or injured temporarily, now what do you do? She will have burned her re-entry never actually having re-entered the game

If we don't "allow" teams to make illegal substitutions, why are there rules to govern situations where they happen?

Batter falls forward and out of the box. Catcher then adjusts to where the batter is standing at throw time (out of the box) and begins her throw to 3rd. Batter then moves BACK into the box and directly into the throw. EASY CALL - INTERFERENCE.

Batter interference,. Next !!!

Batter out runners bag to bases

Batter is out.

The batter was trying to get out of the way. She even pulled her arms in to try and get out of the way. No interference

I myself emphasize where the dp is batting inbatting order

4:42... If #20 hasn't entered the game, why can't she courtesy run?

just wondering if this is correct you have the dp /flex as your starting nine players ?

This is interference.

Correct, Except, obstruction is a delayed dead ball call.

Batter attempted contact with the ball. Strike. Notice now that the catcher stepped on home plate and then towards third base stepping directly into the batter and the batters box. The catcher initiated the contact by stepping into the batters box forcing the batter out. I see no batter-interference here. Catcher had a clear line to step backwards and throw to retire runner. Understand the rule, batter must interfere with the play, however the catcher cannot step into the batter to initiate contact to draw the interference call. You could make the case that the batter stepped across home plate to strike at the ball, however the play went to third, (not second), so when the catcher contacted the batter, the batter attempted to avoid interference. It might be a hard sell to the coach but I have no interference here.
