F6, standing in the base path, is attempting to pick up a ground ball which has bounced off his chest. He senses R1 about to hit him so he stops and does not field the ball, nor make a play.
Now what is the call? WMB

ASA apparently considers this a deflected ball the same as if it had ricocheted off the pitcher. Therefore, interference has to be intentional, if I remember the case book correctly. If the runner could not avoid or tried to avoid, I would not call interference.
I can't see penalizing the runner because the fielder kicked a ball in his direction.
