In both sentence it is refering to the place the line/ball is in relation to the fielder/bench. If the ball starts here fielder ball finishes here O X (O) In that diagram the ball passes the fielder (it wasn't stopped by him) Please note that the verb is wrong in sentence 2. The ball went past the fielder.
