Infield fly rule
I wanted to follow up regarding an infield fly rule situation we encountered. We had less than two outs, with runners on first and second. I called the infield fly rule but hesitated briefly to ensure the ball was hit high enough.
As I made the call, the first baseman noticed the ball was going to fall short. Neither the catcher nor the pitcher moved for the ball. Instead, the first baseman ran in, dove, and successfully caught it.
In your opinion, would this situation still qualify as an infield fly rule? I’d appreciate your thoughts on this unusual play.
