How do you catch a foul ball in baseball safely?

Answer 1

1st use a glove

If no glove is available make sure that as you catch the ball move your hand in the direction the ball is moving there by increasing the time it take for the ball to decelerate

Answer 2

Usually 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.
