Thanks guys !!! What about the catcher trying to push the batter out of the way?
That's one of those "have to be there to see it" plays. I would say if the catcher needed to push the batter out of the way that you probably have interference. You have to take the totality of the play into consideration though.

Agreed -- but I have seen a straight steal and a botched squeeze where F2 catches the pitch and then makes contact with / pushes the batter as F2 is trying to tag R3. That's not INT. But, if F2 has time to gather the passed ball, return to the plate and still make a play on R3 (as in the OP) -- the batter likely had time to move.
