Where the OTD is kicking in (maybe) is with runner interfering with a fielder on the deflected ball v. runner getting hit by an untouched batted ball after passing an infielder. The first is 8-7-J(5) and the second is 8-7-K.
Both require a fielder to have an opportunity for an out.
The deflected ball requires intent. Getting hit by the untouched batted ball doesn't.
