a. That is a foul tip when caught if the ball never rises on its way from the bat to the catcher’s glove.
|
Incorrect. The comment includes a caveat that excludes a ball which rises from the bat to the catcher's glove as a foul tip.
Quote:
b. That is a foul tip when caught unless the ball rises above the batter’s head.
|
Incorrect. Again, a caveat that excludes a ball which rises above the batter's head as a foul tip.
Quote:
c. The ball is live if legally caught by F2.
|
Correct for FP & SP w/stealing. It could not be a foul tip if it wasn't caught. SP w/o stealing, see "d".
Quote:
d. The ball is dead on a foul tip.
|
Correct only in SP w/o stealing
Quote:
e. Any fielder can legally catch a foul tip.
|
Obviously, incorrect as only a catcher can catch a foul tip.
