From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: Illegal/Illegally, Illegal Pitch, Infielder, Infield Fly.
Illegal/Illegally – contrary to these rules.
Illegal Pitch – a pitch delivered to the batter when the pitcher does not have her pivot foot in contact with the pitcher’s plate; a quick return pitch.
Infielder – a fielder who occupies a position in the infield.
Infield Fly – a fair fly ball (not including a line drive nor an attempted bunt) which can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort, when first and second, or first, second and third bases are occupied, before two are out.
