A fielder's choice does not improve a player's batting average, and neither does an error.

What fielding records are kept on a catcher?
Fielding stats kept on catchers include putouts, assists, errors, double plays, passed balls, catcher's interference, percentage of base stealers thrown out, number of bases stolen against, number of base stealers thrown out. The combined ERA of all pitchers while they are throwing to a particular catcher is also calculated, but this stat is not widely publicized.
Is it catcher interference if the batter fouls the ball and then hits the catchers glove on the follow through of the swing?
Yes, interference will be called if the umpire judges the catcher hindered the batter. If the ball is hit and the batter runner successfully reaches first and runners forced to advance or were stealing a base advanced the interference is ignored. If the batter runner is thrown out the manager has the option to accept the outcome of the play or accept the interference call placing the batter runner on first. If other runners are on base the manager's choice will affect them too. Accepting an interference call would require non-forced runners to return to their base. Consider a runner on third with no or one out when interference occurs. The batter runner is thrown out while the runner on third scores. Accepting the interference would require the runner scoring from third to return to third.

Do runners advance on catchers interference during a squeeze?
In a squeeze play, if there is catcher's interference, the runners are typically awarded the bases they occupy at the time of the pitch. This means that if the catcher interferes with the batter while trying to execute the squeeze, the batter is awarded first base, and the runners can advance, depending on the situation. However, the specific outcome may depend on the umpire's judgment and the game's individual circumstances.
Why do catchers throw to third after a strikeout?
Catchers often throw to third base after a strikeout to try to catch a baserunner off guard and potentially pick them off. This strategy is used to quickly and efficiently eliminate a baserunner and prevent them from advancing to the next base.
