Speaking ASA
F6, standing in the base path, is attempting to pick up a ground ball which has bounced off his chest. R2 runs into F6 and should be called out.

Sounds like an 8-7-J5. That would be considered a
deflected ball in my HO. However, the play did not state it was intentional.

Without any rulebook or casebook in front of my...
Is this the "step and reach" guideline?? On the small-ball side of the house it goes something like this: If a fielder muffs a catch, but the ball is within a step and reach - the fielder is still protected. Any farther than a step and reach places the fielder in jeopardy of causing obstruction. |

Kono, it's because it's a deflected batted ball and there is a fielder that can still make an out who is attempting to field it. Picture a ball that bounces off the 2nd baseman's glove and the 1st baseman is trying to field it but gets bumped by R1, you'd clearly have an out. In the case Mike gave the deflection was by and to the same fielder is all, one step or five makes no difference.

I don't believe that a ball the bounces off F4's chest is considered deflected if F4 is trying to pick it up. A ball that caroms off F3 (or, more likely, F1) and then goes to F4 would be a deflected ball. Interference in that case does require intent.
