The IF rule specifically states that the catcher and pitcher are infieldres "for the purpose of this rule." Must be they aren't infielders otherwise, else why was it necessary to add them here?
PLUS
Catcher is defined separately from infielder.
Runner is protected only if the ball passes through an INfielder.
Poor slob is out - dead ball.
Can't see a DP as there was no chance
