Directly behind would seem to mean the ball went through 3's legs. Just seems weird to me.

The OBR rule (which is defferent from FED, which is different from NCAA) is:
The runner is out if he's hit by the batted ball.
Except: If the runner is directly behind the fielder, then the runner should expect the fielder to make the play, so the runner is not out.
Except (to the except): If another fielder had a play, then the runner is still out.
