I have interference on the batter. His recoiled check swing caused his bat to stick out over the plate and almost hit the catcher. This is a delayed dead ball and the ball remains live if the runner from first is put out on the throw. If his throw does not immediately retire the runner a dead ball is called. If the pitch to the batter resulted in strike three, the runner is called out for the batter's interference. If the pitch did not result in strike three to the batter, the batter is called out and the runner is sent back to the base last occupied at the time of the interference.
