ASA 8.8.J
It states "attempting to field" a batted ball.
POE states "executing a play".
My belief is that you will know it when you see it. Simply running into a player who is standing there with the ball isn't exactly smart. However, who said ballplayers were smart?
I would not call INT unless the offensive team member caused the fielder to fail to make a play and I think that would be obvious to all when we see it.
