Reply to "Deflected Ball"

So what you're saying is....No...there is no clearly defined rule on "initial attempt on a batted ball". This is completely a judgement call.  To revert back to your earlier post....is it deflected right at him or is he chasing a loose ball? I'm quite surprised this doesn't come up more often.  I was involved with 3 games this year alone in which a line shot deflected off the pitcher to another fielder. Granted no one was on base but.....this has to happen occasionally.
