ASA - Infield Fly Rule

BretMan · #1 (**permalink**) Mon Jul 16, 2012, 11:48am

There are some softball umpire manuals that say the Infield Fly call can be made by either umpire.

There are others that don't spell out if the responsibility belongs to either one or both.

ASA's manual does happen to say that this is the plate umpire's call.

Did you mention to your partner that baseball is a different sport and that softball might have some different mechanics?

Do you have the page number where it says the PU has the call?
