Frankly never noticed the "fair" requirement before, myself (so no foul anything is in the "outfield"), but in normal play, the player with the most likely chance to make the play you describe is the shortstop. Foul bunt, batter out.

After reading this it hit me this morning that the definition doesn't mention the outfield. It does mentions the infield, which is: That portion of the field
in fair territory that includes areas normally covered by infielders.
So no foul bunt actually meets the definition. Somehow that makes the definition easier to ignore.
