I can only assume corn is used because of the alliteration.
What determines a fly ball or a ground ball in Baseball?
If a batted ball hits the ground before both (1) leaving the infield and (2) a fielder has a chance of catching it, that is (generally) considered a ground ball.

A ball that does not much of an arc to its motion is often called a "line drive" instead of a "fly ball."

What are the rules and implications of an infield fly ball in baseball?
In baseball, an infield fly ball is a rule that applies when there are runners on first and second base (or bases loaded) with less than two outs. The umpire can call an infield fly if a fair fly ball can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort. This rule is in place to prevent the defense from intentionally dropping the ball to turn a double play. If an infield fly is called and the ball is dropped, the batter is automatically out and the runners can advance at their own risk.
