A very improbable situation as you admitted. If there is a person who is so slow as to not be able to avoid a deflected ball, then there are other issues to be dealt with here.

Beg to differ with you here. Improbable, not likely I agree. U1 in A position about 2 or 3 feet behind first baseman. U1 in foul territory. Screaming liner hooking toward the line deflecting off the glove of 1B and hitting U1. I could see it happening.

Yessir to playing dodgeball while in A position

I have had to duck, dodge, dive,.... more than one at A position with a left handed batter pulling it down the line. Never been hit but have seen my share scream by my ear/knee/torso...

Matrix

I am watching a Matrix rerun and I can recall many times when I watched one go by my head or my feet as if in slow motion as I gently dodged. Never been hit, knock on wood.
