Can you tell me the FED rule backing your statement? I dont necessarily disagree with you but the following has me wondering....
8-4-2K -(paraphrase) A runner is out when he is contacted by a fair batted ball before it touches/passes any infielder, except the pitcher....
But also...
8-4-2k-2 ..if a runner is hit by an infield fly when he is not touching his base, both he and batter are out.
It seems to read that a FLY ball, ruled IFF, that hits a runner not on base is out, but what of an IFF that falls untouched, bounces, and hits a runner not on base? Do we then rule according to 8-4-2? if so then a pitcher wouldnt be considered an infielder....
