#6 a ball that is hit and goes “sharp and direct” from the bat to the catcher’s glove and is caught in flight - I think the confusion is in the name. Perhaps it should never be referred to as a "foul tip". Maybe a swing tip, a bat tip, a tip strike or perhaps just a tip. If the name is changed, maybe the confusion will go away.

I person commit that as long as it is officially called a foul tip in the rule book, I will not refer to it as such. I instead will call it a "Dorsënheimer", of course still having to remind the coaches that a Dorsënheimer is not a dead ball.
