Dont have all the rules citations at the moment, but FED is a little different in that they do not consider a deflected ball off the pitcher to be an initial play. If another player still has a chance to make a play after a ball being deflected by the pitcher, it is still considered to be an initial play.
But, there is also a rules citation in FED that if the ball is deflected and the runner did not have a chance to avoid the ball, they are not out.
