The Baseball rules differentiate between a foul ball and a foul tip.
A foul tip caught by the catcher is a strike. If it's the third strike the result is a strikeout, otherwise the at bat continues.
A foul ball caught in the air by any fielder (including the catcher) is a pop out (or fly out, which is scored the same).
Major League Baseball rules define a foul tip as follows:
A FOUL TIP is a batted ball that goes sharp and direct from the bat to the catcher's hands and is legally caught. It is not a foul tip unless caught and any foul tip that is caught is a strike, and the ball is in play. It is not a catch if it is a rebound, unless the ball has first touched the catcher's glove or hand.
Many people were taught that a foul tip is anything that does not go over the batter's head, or that does not go at least six feet high, but those criteria are not in the rule book.
If a fielder catches a ball and falls into the stands, it is a dead ball and all runners advance one base. Rule 704(c) The fielder made a legal catch. At that point the batter was out. The fielder then took the ball out of play. At that point the runners were allowed to advance one base.
If it is caught by the player in the stands with no interference (such as a fan tipping the ball up), it is an out.
If he drops it yes
If the glove or mitt falls off in the process of catching the ball, it is not a legal catch. The fielder must have control of the ball in the glove and then remove it himself.
If the fielder falls into the stands or the dugout after catching the foul, the ball is dead and runners are awarded base from the base they occupied at the time of the pitch.
No it is not it is the end of the game
It is scored as a triple Really, no he caught the ball so obviously he got him out First answer is correct, batter is awarded three bases.
No, the glove is considered an extension of the fielder's hand so if the glove comes off the fielder is deemed to have dropped the ball.
If the fielder catches the ball and, during the motion of reaching into the glove to grab the ball to throw, the ball drops to the ground the batter is called out. As long as the fielder has complete control of the ball before attempting to throw, the umpire will call the batter out.
If the fielder falls into the stands or the dugout after catching the foul, the ball is dead and runners are awarded base from the base they occupied at the time of the pitch.
three strikes and fielder or outfielder catches ball without dropping it.
No...as soon as the batted ball touches the runner, the ball is dead.
It is where a batsmen hits the ball into the air and without a bounce a fielder catches it meaning the batsmen is out.
I think you mean wicket keeper. He is a fielder that stands behind the wickets with a pair of gloves in cricket. He can stump people and catches the ball when it goes past the batsman
