Infield Fly???

If an infielder does not catch a flare (liner 10-15 above ground), the ball is likely in the outfield and no chance for an out, much less two. I don't see any reason to interject an IFF call on this.

He can back up and let it drop at his feet, and come up with it on a hop...

In my sitch, he could have very easily let this ball drop in front of him for an easy double play.

In your sitch he jogged a few steps to his left, caught the ball and doubled up the runner on 2B. IFF is irrelevant since the runner was doubled up, but why you trying to make it into one?
