Catcher interference

[Guest Edzo]

Batter fouls off a pitch but bat strikes catches Mir as same time? Is it catcher interference and batter awarded firstbase

reference please.

 

That said, it's nearly impossible for the bat to hit the ball first and then the glove.  I'd have CI all day long on this.

It's up to the judgement of the umpire as to which occurred first -- the foul or the bat striking the glove. He will use whatever sensory input he could get to make his decision.

FED 10-1-4.

Indeed. And that would be your judgement. I'm confident having worked many games with umpires of varying skill and experience levels that not all would call it that way and instead say it was foul if it was as close as the OP says.
