What do you guys think? Can an outfielder running in from his position qualify for Infield Fly?
No, the question is could F6 have made the catch with ordinary effort? You have to factor in the wind, F6's positioning and the skill level of F6. Could he have made the catch with ordinary effort? If yes, infield fly. If no, nothing. F7 trying to make it on SportsCenter doesn't factor in.
