BR separates infield hits and bunt hits but bunt hits are by definition infield hits. I added them to get the rate/game. If bunts are included in the BR infield hits total then occurrence is <1/g. I'll ask BR what the right total is.
Bottom line is that infield hits seem to be closer to 1/g or less than they are to 1.3-1.5/g
