What is consider a dropped fly ball in the outfield?

A dropped fly ball in the outfield occurs when a fielder attempts to catch a ball that has been hit in the air but fails to secure it, allowing it to fall to the ground. This can happen when the fielder misjudges the ball's trajectory, loses it in the sun, or simply drops it after making contact. If the fielder had a reasonable chance to catch it and fails, it is typically ruled an error. In this scenario, the batter is credited with reaching base safely.
