Why don't baseballs bounce high?
Baseballs do bounce high. The factors governing this are: A. The angle of the ball hitting the ground based on how it comes of a players bat. A "chopper" as example will bounce high if the hitter bats down on a fast ball; B. The bounce is often based on the surface onto which it is hit. The variables are the wetness of the grass, the speed from which it leaves the bat, the field surfaces, such as artificial turf or natural grass and the hardness of the infield and outfield dirt.
What determines a fly ball or a ground ball in Baseball?
If a batted ball hits the ground before both (1) leaving the infield and (2) a fielder has a chance of catching it, that is (generally) considered a ground ball. If it leaves the infield without touching the ground or a fielder has a chance of catching it, that is considered a fly ball. A ball that does not much of an arc to its motion is often called a "line drive" instead of a "fly ball."

Do you have to tag on the infield rule?
If, (while the infield fly rule is in effect), the ball is caught, the runners must tag up. If the ball is dropped or falls to the ground untouched, the runners may advance at their own risk.Clarification:The infield fly rule was enacted to prevent teams from getting an easy double or triple play by letting a popup in the infield drop. An infield fly is just like any other fly ball, with the exception that the batter is immediately out, with results in the runners not being required to advance in the even that the ball is not caught

Does the infield fly rule apply to a bunted ball?
No, as long as it is a fair ball. Once the umpire signals the infield fly rule the batter is automatically out. However, if the ball is dropped and is ruled a foul ball, the umpire reverses his call and the batter continues his turn at bat. Nevertheless, the batter can not reach first from that batted ball. You will often find an umpire state "Infield fly, Batter is out if Fair". When the rule is in effect, the batter may not get on first base.
