johnnyg08's post in pitcher and batter collide on 1st base line was marked as the answer
Interference.
I found an AR in the Obstruction rule on page 31 2-54-AR2 states: When a fielder has made an attempt to field a batted ball and the ball is "within a step and a reach" the fielder is still considered "in the act"
Interference Rule: 2-50 AR 3
A.R. 3 - If a fielder has a chance to field a batted ball, but misplays it and while attempting to recover it, the ball is in the fielder's immediate reach and the fielder is contacted by the base runner attempting to reach a base, interference shall be called.

johnnyg08's post in Calling pitches too fast... was marked as the answer
It's not as much of a "trick" as it is proper use of the eyes.
Track the ball from the pitcher's hand to the catcher's mitt, using only your eyes. Stay down, decide the pitch in your head, then announce your decision.
