The ball hit the ground. If you see the super slow motion, the ball changes direction as the ball goes into the glove. They only showed this replay a couple of times. This was also a very difficult play to call for the umpires. I do not see either way how they would know for sure. The catcher needs to do more than what he did if he wanted that call. When you glove hits the ground and you just throw the ball away, shame on you. He should have been clear the umpire called the batter out. They will talk about this play for a really long time.
