Initial play (as defined in FED rules) is the centerpoint of this whole play.

  It's the OP perception that it is the centerpoint.  This is a deflected batted ball hitting the runner not in contact with a base.  It is not interfering with a fielder attempting to field a batted ball on the initial play.
