Some formula might theoretically work, but not a 1 to 1 ratio. Fifty feet up and 65 out is an obvious fly ball. Vertical height is hard to judge, especially for a ball above an observer, but if each story of a building is 10 feet, I doubt if I've ever seen a 50-foot pop-up at any level of girls' FP. Can anybody tell us the height of typical light towers?
I think that the criteria for IFR should get stricter as the skill levels go down. A pop-up that looks as if it's going to fall 15 feet behind 2B qualifies in gorilla slow pitch, but how about in 10-and-under girls' rec, especially when nobody in the infield moves for the ball?
