I know of no code, baseball or softball, that prohibits a fielder from letting a ball drop untouched to the ground.
There are two protections against "deception": (1) the infield fly rule, and (2) the fact that the BR should run on a batted ball.
Codes do differ, however, in whether a fielder is allowed to "guide the ball" to the ground. For example, in ASA, this is legal. In OBR, it is not.
