Grounders up the middle turning into ugly finders

[baseballsim]

Not sure if I just had bad luck (in Diamond Dynasty online head to head) or this is something new that has cropped up but last night was the first night I played post-patch and encountered several instances where I hit a grounder up the middle that always collided with the pitcher:

Mays grounded out to Wainwright on a deflected hit (1-3).
McGriff grounded out to Neshek on a deflected hit (1-3).
Banks grounded and deflected off pitcher Neshek for a single.
Mays grounded out to Rosenthal on a deflected hit (1-5-3)

I imagine the pitcher's fielding attribute may be a factor in these but I don't have the fielding attributes of the pitchers I faced in front of me.

Note: The fact that all the pitcher's mentioned above have worn a Cardinals uniform at least one point in their career is purely coincidental.

Here are two comebackers to end the game:
