So all rulesets for both softball and baseball have an immediate dead ball, batter out, runners return for an infielder intentionally dropping a caught (secure possession, voluntary release) fly ball. And they all permit the infielder to allow the ball to fall to the ground untouched. And they all prohibit an infielder from intentionally failing to catch a fly ball and instead guiding it to the ground, EXCEPT ASA.
So in ASA, and only in ASA, would an excellent infielder be one who intentionally fails to catch a catchable fly ball, but instead skillfully knocks it to the ground and gets an extra out or two. Okay, got it.
