Catcher Interference Without Swing?
There is a runner on second base (R2) who is stealing on the pitch. As the pitch nears the plate, the catcher jumps up onto the plate, catches the pitch, and throws to third base to retire the stealing R2. The batter is surprised, but made no attempt to swing at the pitch.
Since the batter made no attempt to swing at the pitch, the defensive coach thinks the play should stand. The offensive coach thinks there must be some penalty for this action. What should the umpire do?
