Yes, but let us not confuse anyone... one of the requirements of an infield fly is that it can/may be caught with ordinary effort by an INFIELDER...(in other words, the ball is expected to land in the areas that infielders play) BUT IT MAY ACTUALLY BE CAUGHT BY ANY PLAYER ON THE DEFENSIVE TEAM (outfielder may call off the infielder and make the catch).
