An outfielder can be involved just as well as an infielder on an IFF. The rules DO NOT define a difference between infielders and outfielders for ANY rules.
I know you guys all know this but your answers could lead others to believe something else.

Unfortunately, the rules do define a difference between infielders and outfielders, and the specific rule where it does is the definition of an IFF.

So barring an odd defensive alignment, F7 cannot be considered when determining IFF or not. Which, unsurprisingly, is what the rest of us has said.
