∙ 9y agoUsually when you hit a ball foul, it means that you didn't make solid contact with the ball when you hit it. (Usually the ball is skimmed on some part of the bat or it is hit too far on the end or inside of the bat.) If you want to try to get fouls, try to hit the ball really early or really late, resulting in a solid hit outside of the lines, but still counting as a foul ball.

No if it is a foul ball or if it hits the fence and you catch it it does not matter you still can play it if it is not foul but if it is foul and you catch it when it hits the fence they just call it a strike. Actually - you CAN catch a ball off the fence. There is no rule against it, however it will NOT be counted as an out. The fence is part of the field just like the ground. Therefore, if it hits the fence in foul or fair territory, it is played the same as if it had hit the ground before you caught it.
