R1 on 2nd, steal attempt. Batter stays in the box, doesn't move on low pitch. Catcher blocks ball and ball ends up right in front of catcher, who tries to throw around batter to 3B. PU calls INT on batter, runner on 3B out, batter remains with count.

I suspect not the proper ruling here? Should be batter out, runner returns to 2nd correct?


If the batter did anything to interfere, then it is INT. If the batter just stood there, it is nothing. If it was INT, the batter should be declared out and all runners returned to the last base touched at the time of the INT.
