Are there any restrictions in Adult Slow Pitch by ASA on how many infielders you can use?

Only in Co-ed.

Yes. There can be no more than 8, unless in co-ed which would be 4.

He's not counting the pitcher and catcher. They're not considered "infielders," even though, well, they sort of are.

The pitcher and catcher cannot be infielders because they do not meet the definition of an infielder. They are also the only fielders required to station themselves at a specific (not including fair territory for all, but the catcher) points on the field.

Not having my rule book with me can you tell me what that definition is? Does that mean that a ball popped up to the catcher (or the pitcher ala the other active thread) cannot be an infield fly?

INFIELDER: A fielder who defends the area of the field around first, second, third or shortstop areas.

Stop overthinking it.

From ASA Rule 1:
Quote:
INFIELDER: A fielder who defends the area of the field around first, second, third or shortstop areas.

INFIELD FLY: A fair fly ball, not including a line drive or an attempted bunt which can be caught by an infielder, pitcher or catcher with ordinary effort when first and second or first, second and third bases are occupied with less than two outs.
