This is not about myths.
A batted ball which goes directly to the catcher's bare or gloved hand and is caught by the catcher is a foul tip, live ball strike.
USA RULES, below true or false:
A batted ball which goes directly to any part of the catcher or catcher's equipment BEFORE touching the catcher's hand, even if caught, is a foul ball.
Ignore the catch for an out possibility.
If the above is true, why is it inconsistent with other fielders: who can bobble, kick, etc. and still have a catch as long as it does not touch the ground.
