Reply to "Batter's Interference on Catchers Throw"

SpikeIllinois10+ posts

As dash stated, the majority of such interference calls is when the batter's momentum carries him into the path of the catcher attempting to throw to 2nd. My question: is there ever a time when the batter's momentum carries him into the line of the catcher's throw and it's not interference? The reason I ask is that there are many swings that cause the batter to lose balance and fall that direction and it seems evident that the batter was not trying to interfere....or is it automatic interference if batter's momentum puts him in the way? No contact is made just blocking the line of sight of the catcher...?
