Hitting the Catchers glove

[canyonjoe]

If a batter hits the catchers glove with a swing how is it scored in the book.

I've read where it's an E2 , but for hitting stats should it be treated like a walk
or HBP.

Catcher's Interference. No AB.

It's catcher obstruction and no AB is charged.

Yes. My mistake. Obstruction is correct. That said, I hear most umps call it on the field as "catcher interference" before sending the batter down the line.

What is really bad is when the catcher gets tangled up with the umpires guide dog and cane. They always blame that on the catcher.
