Catcher's Interference, What's It Count As?

[chuckm]

Are you referring to catcher's interference or obstruction? Catcher's interference would be when a batter is swinging at a pitch, the catcher reaches for the ball and the batter makes contact with the mitt. The batter would be awarded first base, if the batter does not hit the ball. If the batter hits the ball, she would be awarded first and then could advance at her own risk. The catcher would be charged with an error and it would be no at bat for the batter.

If there was interference/obstruction, as in the catcher colliding with the batter outside the batter's box on a fair hit, I'm not sure what the "official scoring" would be. It's probably an error and at bat. The scoring rules portion of the rule book should explain it.

The leadoff batter that I am talking about has a current .430 batting average with a .490 on base percentage. She has 11 walks and 24 steals so far with only 3 strikeouts (2 were bad calls).

 

The second batter is hitting .400 with a .414 on base percentage, with 9 walks, 19 steals and AT LEAST 12 sacrifice hits (these 12 have come in the last 15 games, and do not count the first 20 games).

 

I would have to say that this team has a pretty good leadoff and 2-hole hitter. Plus both are great defensively (centerfield and catcher respectively)...
