deflects off his mitt
Runner on first, hard hit ground ball to pitcher, deflects off his mitt, then strikes base ump.
Dead ball or play on? |

Re: deflects off his mitt
In this situation, would you, as BU, give a safe sign after you were hit, or just let the play go on with no signal.
I see it being similar to a collision where there's no OBS or INT -- give the safe sign with "that's nothing" to show you saw it but didn't judge any infraction.
