    So playing mini seasons vs CPU and they have 2nd and 3rd with one out in the bottom of the last inning. CPU player hits a long fly ball down right field line, learly going foul.

    I know if I catch it, runner tags and CPU wins, so I run towards it but avoided. Then I eventually got out of the inning.

    What's the actual rule in baseball here. Does anyone know? Do you have to catch it?

    Thanks

    I meant to say that it was clearly going foul. And I knew it was deep enough, it was an easy tag and score. So I let it go on purpose lol. Not sure anyone cares about screwing over the CPU, especially with the difficulty levels.

    Anyway, I'm curious as to the actual rule.

    Intentionally dropping a foul ball is perfectly legal.

    MLB Rule 5.09(a)(12):

    Under Official Baseball Rule 5.09(a)(12), the batter is out, the ball is dead, and runner(s) return to their original base(s) when an infielder intentionally drops a fair fly ball or line drive with runners on first, first and second, first and third, or bases loaded (with less than two out).

    Note that the batter is not declared out in this situation if the infielder permits the ball to drop untouched to the ground except when the Infield Fly rule applies.

    When an infielder deliberately drops a fair ball or a line drive to set up a double play situation, runners may safely return to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch. The same application shall be made if an outfielder has come so close to the infield to set up a double play situation if he intentionally drops the ball.

    Runners cannot advance under this rule. Umpires shall immediately call “Time,” when, in their judgment, the ball is intentionally dropped.

    Ordinarily misplaying a ball that extends the at bat would be an error, but intentionally not catching a foul ball is not considered an error and play continues.
    you did the right thing cause after you caught it the runners could have tagged and a run would have scored.(which is the reason they dont count it an error)

    It has happened several times in MLB games in similar situations and is considered a heads-up play. There’s no rule that says you have to catch the ball.

    Thanks fellow players!
    I knew what I had to do right now away. To avoid it or CPU tags and scores but still felt like I found a loophole or something haha

    You're quoting the infield fly rule.

    Yes, but that is the only place in the MLB rules that talks about purposely not catching a ball. And you cannot find things that do not exist in the rules, so that means as long as the ball is not called an infield fly, a player can intentionally not catch a ball.

    Yes this was answered by Jubjub. You dont have to make a play on a foul ball that's hit past "infield fly rule" spot. Most of this is subject to umpire interpretation, but if it was hit deep enough for the runner to score, then it was clearly past infield fly rule zone, so you can not catch the ball or just give up on it once you see it will be foul. Happens all the time.

    Just to be clear, I am only referencing the OP's question of a deep fly ball in foul ground.
