Kono, it's because it's a deflected batted ball and there is a fielder that can still make an out who is attempting to field it. Picture a ball that bounces off the 2nd baseman's glove and the 1st baseman is trying to field it but gets bumped by R1, you'd clearly have an out. In the case Mike gave the deflection was by and to the same fielder is all, one step or five makes no difference.
