Called Infield Fly (or Infield Fly ‘Assist’)When an Infield Fly occurs, (for assistance on Infield Fly situations refer to BasicUmpire Manual – Rules Module,) all Umpires will point up at the ball with their rightarm.It is initially the Plate umpire’s responsibility to call the play. With his right arm in theair, he will call ‘Infield Fly – batter is out.’ He will then give the ‘Out Signal’.If the ball is close to the foul line and it is difficult to determine as to whether the ball isgoing to be fair or foul, the Plate Umpire will call ‘Infield Fly – batter is out if fair.’ Hewill then give the ‘Out Signal’.Delayed Dead BallThe delayed dead signal is given in situations where it may be necessary toeventually stop play and, depending on the circumstances, apply a penaltyor award. e.g Illegal pitch, obstruction.Any Umpire may give the delayed dead ball signal. It is given by extendingthe left arm straight out from the shoulder and horizontal to the ground.Ground Rule DoubleThis signal is given only after ‘Time’ has been called and signalled. It is given with theright arm extended above the head. Two fingers are shown to indicate a ‘two baseaward’.
