Cool

tskill,

briancurtin has given you the correct call. The reason is that for a batted ball to be legally "caught" for an out, said batted ball must be "in flight" at the time of the catch.

Once the batted ball touches anything other than a fielder (including his properly attached equipment/uniform) it is no longer "in flight" and can no longer be caught for an out.
