Should this be an infield fly or is it a high IQ play by Lindor at shortstop? In this situation, with runners on first and second there’s a little bloop pop-up to the Mets shortstop Lindor. Now, for it to be an infield fly it has to meet this criteria: 1. Fewer than two outs 2. Runners on first and second or bases loaded 3. Hit fair and not be a line drive or bunt 4. Be an easy catchable ball in the infield Now, because this was an easy play, there’s no risk in letting it drop because the runner

Is this an infield fly? Can the fielder purposely let a fly ball drop to get a double play? The smartest shortstops in the game know this one rule. Since runners are not on first and second it’s not an infield fly. And the rule is clear that an intentionally dropped ball must touch the fielder, like knocking down a line drive. So this shortstop saw the batter runner jogging down the 1B. And let it drop getting the force out at first. The runner on first should have stayed but by going to second

What would you do as the runner on first or second? In this situation you have no outs and a fly ball that lands, is not caught, just behind pitchers mound. This is a standard infield fly call. With less than two outs and runners on first and second or bases loaded, umpires should call an infield fly as the rule is there to prevent double plays if the defense chooses to let it drop purposefully. As a result, the batter runner is out and the runners advance at their own risk. So, baserunners, you

What do you think the pitcher should do in this situation? With a runner on first, less than two outs, and a pop fly in between the infield and outfield in RCF? In this situation, the SS, 2B, RF, and CF all go for the ball. But who has priority? SS has priority on balls in the infield, but since this is an in between fly ball in the outfield the OF has priority and the CF has priority over everyone. It’s a lot easier to come in on a fly ball than go back. This leaves 2B open and should be covere

The smartest play and infielder can make in this situation is to not catch a pop-up…on purpose. We’re seeing MLB players dropping fly balls and getting hit in the head but there’s other players dropping pop-ups on purpose and it’s perfectly legal as long as the ball does not touch the player. This is ideal to do on a pop up in the infield that lands on the grass so it sticks and there’s a runner on first base. This is not an infield fly because there’s no runner on second. When it drops, you can
