Runner is attempting to steal second base on a hit and run play. The pitched ball is in the dirt short of home plate, but the batter swings and does step out of the batters box towards home plate. The catcher blocks the dirt ball, the ball bounces from the catchers glove up into the air, almost like a very low pop up foul ball. Once the catchers has the ball in his glove he makes now attempt to throw out the runner going to second. The plate umpire throws his hands up and calls "Batter Interference" because the batter step out of his batter box. No play was being made and in fact the catcher didn't possess the baseball. Is this the correct call?
