An infinitive is "to" plus the verb: to go, to see, to jump, to run. When the infinitive begins a phrase that modifies a noun or pronoun, it functions as an adjective and is therefore an adjective infinitive phrase.
Example: He is the baseball player to watch carefully. To watch carefully is an infinitive phrase that modifies player. Therefore, it is an adjective infinitive phrase.
Example: The doctor to call immediately is Dr. Swift. To call quickly tells which doctor, modifies doctor, and is therefore an adjective infinitive phrase.
I hope this helps!!

An infinitive phrase will begin with an infinitive [to + simple form of the verb] and include objects and/or modifiers. Here are some examples:
To smash a spider
To kick the ball past the dazed goalie
To lick the grease from his shiny fingers despite the disapproving glances of his girlfriend Gloria
Infinitive phrases can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.
