Ive always interpreted the 'ordinary effort' part to balls hit on the outfield grass. If a ball is hit 'high enough' and could even possibly land in the infield, I.F is in effect. I dont know whether we(umpires) are to judge players individually with regards to what THEIR 'ordinary effort' is. I'd call IF, batter's out. Interesting scenario tho. Cant wait to hear what the...experts think. -T2ny
