isn't what we see play out just an overlay? it's made to look relatively realistic but where a ball goes in the field is seperate from calculating outcomes etc... it's an aesthetic thing mostly related to the outcomes.
e.g. ootp determines a well-hit ball occured, then it chooses one of a few flight paths that would realistically result in a double ... but that is a superficial layer. This sort of thing could be adding to the perception but the underlying probabilities are fine despite what you see play out visually
