I'm getting confused now. (Which might be easier for me than some...)
Here's the USA and NFHS rules:
USA 8.8 THE RUNNER IS NOT OUT
F. When a runner is hit by a fair batted ball after it touches or is touched by any fielder including the pitcher, and the runner could not avoid contact with the ball.
NFHS 8.8 RUNNER IS NOT OUT
ART 6… A runner is hit with a fair batted ball after it touches, or is touched by, any fielder, including the pitcher, and the runner could not avoid contact with the ball.
Am I misreading something that was posted? Have we moved from deflected balls to something other?
