Players may not use their hat to catch a ball. Assuming a catcher did do this in fair territory, all runners and the batters would be awarded 3 bases, if the ball is in foul territory it would be a foul ball. In either case the batter would not be out.
In the Major League Baseball official rules, rule 7.05(b) states: "Each runner including the Batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask, or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril." Basically, even if the outfielder were to show off for the crowd and make a great catch by taking off his hat and catching the ball with it, even though it would look like an out, the batter would be placed on third base with an automatic triple because of the penalty.
It's not a catch, and there's a 3-base award.
According to Rule 7.05(b):
Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril

Another answer:If he has good enough eye-hand coordination he can. But it is not an out:
Rule 2.0
A CATCH is the act of a fielder in getting secure possession in his hand or glove of
a ball in flight and firmly holding it; providing he does not use his cap, protector, pocket or
any other part of his uniform in getting possession...(more not applicable).

Can a mlb player catch a fair ball with his baseball cap?
No fielder can use any part of the uniform to catch a batted ball. In fact, if a a fielder touches a fair batted ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place [Rule 7.05(b)], or if a fielder deliberately throws his glove and touches a fair batted ball [Rule 7.05(c)], the runner is entitled to 3 bases without liability to be put out. And it's two bases if it's a throwen ball.
