The rule says directly to the catcher's mitt... so what do you look for? The catcher's mitt.
If she had to move it to catch it, it's an out.
If she didn't, assuming no VERY visible loop, it's not.
I agree that in slowpitch this is rare (honestly, I don't remember one, but I do maybe 10 SP games a year vs 75-100 FP). See it all day long in FP though.
