A catch must be a ball that is caught, and voluntarily released. I suppose a "catch and carry" is one where the player catches the ball and does not voluntarily release, ie carries it along with him. Still a catch, because he will eventually voluntarily release the ball. Let's say the CF catches the ball and carries it with him to the mound area where he drops it. Catch and carry.
On the flip side, let's say the CF "catches the ball" and runs 5 steps into the CF wall and then drops the ball. No voluntary release, and no catch.
