I'm sure that there is a difference between ASA and OBR, but I'm not sure about Fed. I as under the impression tht the crieria for Fed matched that of ASA. ASA (and NCAA) are pretty clear about this, if you've got a fielder who has a good chance of making an out, that's interference. Leads to the question "What's a good chance of getting an out" My working definition is that an out will be made if the defense does not make an error.
In baseball, I don't think we're too likely to see this come up - If I'm in A, then F4 ain't gonna make it behind me normally and ain't been nobody named Roberto Clemente playing F9 for about 20-some years. If I'm in B or C and get hit, it hasn't passed a fielder. So, I don't see this siuation happening more than once every several years at the most.
