🏛️Official — MLB7.6 The Infield Fly Rule Violation
Verdict
When the infield fly rule is in effect and the umpire declares "Infield Fly," the batter is automatically out regardless of whether the ball is caught. If a fielder intentionally drops an infield fly, the ball remains live and in play (OBR Rule 5.09(a)(12)).
