Bob,

Could you give a couple of examples of being hit with a batted ball, where the call would be different based on which rule set you were using.

I gave an example to my colleague, where both infielders (1b and 2b) were playing directly in front of their respective bases.
The runner is hit while half way between 1b and 2b.
Safe in Fed
Out in MLB

Can you give me any more insight on how to clarify the difference for my colleague?
