Tony,
Not necessarily, but think about it. If the team refuses to try and catch the ball, why give them an automatic out?
I'm not talking about a ball that is going to land at an infielder's feet, but something where the player must go after the ball at the outset of the play.
It isn't out of the realm of possibility that a pop-up could literally fall in fair territory between the P, C & 3B 12yo players and not be caught with ordinary effort
