Last season, lot of coaches complained it was not an "Infield fly" because the arc of the ball was not a straight up, then down. Most times doing JV or lower, it don't go that high anyway.
So....to call it right, what is the correct "arc"? Where is that "line"? This is even more accentuated when there's 2 outs, a player lets it fall to the ground, I've called the batter out, there's a runner in scoring position at 3rd and boy do you hear it.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

It's either a line drive, or a fly ball. Anything that carries to an IF without being hit right at him/her (with or without a slight arc) is an IFF.
Additionally, I see 'reasonable effort' as a ball that an IF has time to 'settle under'.
