To be fair, the frequency with which the Flash gets tagged by random people has steadily decreased as time goes by (it still happens sometimes, but nowhere near as often as it did in season 1, for example). And very often there are specific plot elements involved (like he is distracted by someone else nearby, or fighting a friend, or isn't allowed to fight back, like his last encounter with Weather Wizard and Trickster etc.). Also, Barry actually has feats like dodging lightning, blasts from Dr Light, catching automatic gunfire, dodging blasts from Mick and Snart etc.
