And just to advocate the devil's position on this... FP game w/ R1 on 2B. BU in "C". Batter hits a sharp line drive to F7 who fields it on one hop and throws to 3B attempting to retire R1 who is advancing. Is this "first play in the infield"?
My training has me busting inside towards 1B where my responsibility is picking up the BR. PU should have the play @ 3B. Yah?

How can a ball fielded by an OF be considered the "first throw in the infield"?
