Play was dead when he kept it. If he just drops it "immediately" & runs or swats it straight down I say the ball is alive. If he swats it "away" to the side & a fielder has to chase it..he's out.
I have had players throw a ball to me thinking it was 3 outs, & I have had to swat it straight down or block it & let it fall to the ground.
