When an infield fly is called, and a runner attempts to tag, when can they leave the base? Is it when the ump calls it or when the fielder catches it? Also do they need to tag up if the ball is not caught?

Thanks all. This is a great forum for discussion.
rafking,

Number one, welcome to the board. Hope you enjoy the discussions.

Tagging is required only on a caught fly ball. Under any of these circumstances, the runner may disengage the bag upon any defender's first contact with the ball.
