If he/she does give a NO CATCH signal, then why is this different than the OP? Again, just asking to see if I have been using the wrong mechanic (wouldn't be a first).

I don't believe there has been any disagreement offering a safe sign for a trapped/near trapped ball in either the IF or OF.

O Irish, I think Serg hamered it right on the nail!
If,
and in 3-umpire system (or less) I rather do not [different discussion], a BU goes out for the outfield to call the (nearly) trapped hitted ball he CAN/MUST use the safe signal. In the infield, however, I prefer "the fair hitted ball"-signal for a just uncaught ball.
