What an awful call. He wasn’t even under the ball when the ump put his hand up.

does not have to be under the ball…a fair fly ball that can be caught by normal effort in the infield area. Does not have to be caught by an infielder. A fly ball from a bunt negates the infield fly rule.

Infield fly rule has been in effect at all levels of baseball since the 19th century. Why change the rule now?

My only question with the call is that he was in the outfield.

But I don't know the whole rule inside and out.

Did the infielder signal for fair catch?

I agree, nobody was camped under the ball(key component of the rule). The infield fly rule on Saturday was properly called even though is was much farther into the outfield than the pop up yesterday where their player was camped under the ball before it was called.
