What is the infield fly ball rule and how does it impact the outcome of a baseball game?
The infield fly ball rule is a baseball rule that is called when there is a pop-up hit in the infield with runners on first and second base (or bases loaded) and less than two outs. The rule is in place to prevent the defense from intentionally dropping the ball to get a double play. When the umpire calls an infield fly, the batter is automatically out, regardless of whether the ball is caught or dropped. This rule impacts the outcome of a baseball game by potentially changing the course of an inning and preventing the defense from gaining an unfair advantage.
