In baseball, "shagging flies" is catching fly balls during practice or warm-up time. I've never heard of "shagging the ball," so I assume this is what you mean.

Generally, from my understanding, it basically means "screwing up" some action with the ball. As in, if you kick the ball and it goes straight and at a bad angle, someone could say "****! He shagged the ball!" Otherwise, it's not a common American euphamism by any means. You might hear it once out of 50 games.

fetching/getting it back when it goes out of play, much like a ball boy would do.

it's going and getting the ball, or chasing after it to return it

That could mean a few different things, I see your point. Seeing your point could mean a few different things too. Oh well, I give up.
