| Play: With one out, R1 on 2B and R2 on 1B, B4 hits a fly ball to the infield that can be caught with normal effort by F4 or F3. However, neither F3 nor F4 make any effort to catch the fly ball. The umpire does not rule infield fly because of the lack of effort by the infielders.
is this the correct call?

| It's still an infield fly by definition. Declare the infield fly batter out, and the runners can advance at their own risk.

| It's important to note that infield fly is called to protect the offense from a double or triple play. Defensive indifference has nothing to do with your judgement as mentioned it should be called if the catch could be made with reasonable effort
