We care for the game, our officials, and the communities we serve. That spirit, equal parts passion and compassion, led us to found Official Finders in 2009. In the years since we've slowly but steadily built an organization that sources and trains officials that help struggling youth sports organizations. More than filling a job for a game, our mission is helping to create work with meaning.
A couple of mistakes you made. A line drive is never an IFR. Think for a minute. Line Drive as opposed to Fly Ball. There is a big difference. Line drive is sharp and direct where as a fly ball is up in the air. Second, the fielder does not have to get set under the ball. He merely needs to be making an ordinary or routine effort on the ball. He can still be moving.
A line drive is not an infield fly in any rule set

The infield fly is only called when there are bases loaded or first and second with less then two out . The Umpire will call it . I learned that in Little League baseball .
Runners on first and second 1 out and I called infield fly. Batter is out, but the runner at second was off the base when the catch was made. They throw it back to second but did not put the tag on the runner. Is the runner out at second.? Is the runner supposed to tag even though it’s infield fly?
Is it an infield fly if only a runner at 1st?
To my knowledge, an infield fly doesn’t have to be caught by an “infielder”. It just has to be caught in the infield by “any” fielder with ordinary effort.
