A dropped fly ball in the outfield occurs when a fielder attempts to catch a ball that has been hit in the air but fails to secure it, allowing it to fall to the ground. This can happen when the fielder misjudges the ball's trajectory, loses it in the sun, or simply drops it after making contact. If the fielder had a reasonable chance to catch it and fails, it is typically ruled an error. In this scenario, the batter is credited with reaching base safely.

What happens if an infield fly is dropped during a baseball game?
If an infield fly is dropped during a baseball game, the batter is automatically out, regardless of whether the ball is caught or dropped. The runners on base can advance at their own risk.
What is the call on the batter on a fly ball?
If there are runners on 1st and 3rd or bases loaded with less than two outs and the fly ball is in the infield, the umpire calls "Infield fly, the batter is out." In this case, the batter is out whether the ball is caught or dropped and all runners may return to their bases with no risk. If a runner wants to advance a base, they may do so at their won risk.If a batter hits a fly ball to the infield without the condition stated above, then it is like a normal fly ball, if it is caught it's and out. If it is not caught it is a safe ball and the defensive player must try to make the play at the base. These same rules for a fly-ball hit into the outfield.
What position has priority over all other players for a fly ball?
Whoever calls for the fly ball should get it, but the shortstop controls the infield and the center fielder controls the outfield. An outfielder can call an infielder off of a fly ball too because it is easier to come in on a fly ball than to go out.

Is it an infield fly if the ball is in foul territory?
No. The infield fly rule is only for fly balls within the infield. The reason for this is so that a defender cannot intentionally drop a fly ball in order to create a double or triple play. If a fly ball is dropped in foul territory, no runners may advance.
When a flyball is dropped in the outfield and two runs score are they counted as rbi's?
In baseball, if a fly ball is dropped in the outfield and two runs score as a result, the batter is typically credited with an error, not an RBI. Since the runs scored are a result of a defensive mistake rather than a productive hit, the official scorer usually does not award RBIs for that play. Therefore, the runs count as earned runs for the scoring team, but the batter does not receive RBIs.
What is the call on a fly ball that hist the foul pole?
Fair ball, usually judged a home run since usually foul poles are above the outfield fence.
What are the rules and implications of an infield fly ball in baseball?
In baseball, an infield fly ball is a rule that applies when there are runners on first and second base (or bases loaded) with less than two outs. The umpire can call an infield fly if a fair fly ball can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort. This rule is in place to prevent the defense from intentionally dropping the ball to turn a double play. If an infield fly is called and the ball is dropped, the batter is automatically out and the runners can advance at their own risk.
What happens if there is an infield fly rule with a runner on first only?
If there is an infield fly rule with a runner on first only, the batter is automatically out, regardless of whether the ball is caught or dropped by the fielder. The runner on first can advance at their own risk after the ball is caught or lands.
What is done if an umpire rules a fly ball a catch only to find that it is dropped?
The hitter is out, but the base runners can run to the next base with out tagging up.
Is advancing a runner buy hitting a flyball or putting the ball in play considered a time at bat?
It is not considered an at bat if it is a fly ball to the outfield or a bunted sacrifice. If it is a ground out and runners advance it is a time at bat.
