OBR and NCAA, yes.

 

Under FED, it depends. There is a case play that if you have BI in a situation where the batter strikes out but there is no chance to get the runner, the runner gets sent back. I think that case play is absolutely atrocious, because in my mind, the intersection of the set "hinders the catcher in making a play" and "no chance to get the runner" is null. If there's no chance to get the out, then there's no play with which to interfere.

I'm not understanding what is being said here.  In FED or OBR (I don't know for certain the NCAA rule) if the batter is guilty of BI on an attempted steal of second base, the batter is called out and the runner is returned.

 

The only time the runner is called out is when he is advancing to home with less than two outs or the runner is put out even though the batter interferes.

 

What am I missing here?

Man, it was late.

 

Batter is out, unless he is already out, in which case the runner is out. The case play is still an atrocious one.
