Also, can anyone provide a rationale why NCAA/FED is different from OBR in this case? The only thing I can come up with is that the baserunners aren't supposed to be as skilled maybe and so they get a break (i.e., may not be as skilled at avoiding batted balls) whereas MLB players are supposed to be?
I realize this is like asking "Why is water wet?" in that it doesn't really matter, the rule is the rule. Just curious more than anything.
