I know that's not rule book text, but what criteria would you use to differentiate a foul tip from a caught fly ball?
When could a hit ball that never went above Batters head, that ended up behind the batter, caught by F2 be a caught fly out instead of a foul tip?
I can't picture it.
So though it might not be the "rule" practically speaking it's accurate.
If it's a foul ball hit in front of the batter and is caught makes no difference the height, but I dont know how F2 could catch it if it didn't pop-up above the head.
