This is also a dropped third strike situation. However, this time the pitch has bounced off the catcher's mitt and into the air. (Until the ball hits the ground, this still meets the definition of a foul tip.)

The ball wasn't batted, so it can't be a "foul tip".

Or are you saying that follow-through or backswing cannot be considered unintentional? The case book seems to hint at this. The last statement of 7.3.5F is, "Once the batter swings, he is responsible for his follow-through."
Sorry Bob, maybe I'm slower than I thought.

The followthrough might be unintentional. The batter is still responsible for it.
