Crossword Genius

Otherwise can exit ballpark (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inexact

'ballpark' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'otherwise can exit' is the wordplay.
'otherwise' is an anagram indicator.
'can'+'exit'='canexit'
'canexit' anagrammed gives 'INEXACT'.

(Other definitions for inexact that I've seen before include "Fuzzy, muddled" , "Not precise, ambiguous" , "not wholly Right" , "Vague" , "estimated?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
