Nobody out, R1 and R2, F4 is playing 25 feet into the grass and I'm thinking...now what if I have a pop-up hit to him? Sure enough it happens. I called nothing and no one said a word probably because they don't know the language of the rule (reasonable effort). I'd like to know how you guys would have called this play. Had he of started on the infield and gone to the spot for the catch, I believe everyone would have called IFF but is he still considered an infielder if he starts way out there?
Yes, he is still an infielder and if he could have caught the ball with ordinary effort, it is an infield fly.
