David,

You are really making this more complicated than it needs to be. It is not hard to see in baseball when someone goes out of their way to contact the ball. It is not hard to figure out in other sports and situations, so it will not be hard in baseball if you have seen enough plays in baseball to know what is common and uncommon to the game. If you need some detailed way to make this call so be it, but you will be judged on the quality of the calls you make in some basic situations. And as I said before, this is so rare of a situation I would not worry about something that might not even realistically happen once a season.

Peace
