This situation happened tonight.
The batter attempted a bunt with no strikes. The bunt went up in the air about 6-10 inches directly in front of the catcher behind home plate. The catcher leaned forward and caught the ball on the way down.
The question is - is the batter out or is this a foul tip? I always thought the rule was if the ball did not elevate above the batter's head, then it was a foul tip but the umpire ruled it an out tonight.
