Another "situation" discussion

Summer college level. Bottom of 9th. Bases loaded, 1 out. Conventional wisdom, I believe, has corners in and MIF at double play depth, maybe a bit closer. Both MIF's are decent but not above average range, decent but not above average arms for level. Player/coach calls for all infield in. Discussion afterward, his reasoning is ...

-a ball hit not right at MIF will not get double play and winning run scores

-all infield in shrinks holes between IF's and any ball knocked down has a chance for force at home

argument against is...

-soft liner or short fly over MIF would have been otherwise caught

-hard grounder straight at is more likely to eat up MIF when all the way in.

Opinions or other insight?
