No. Not with regards to the average everyday run of the mill foul-tip. Forget the deflection to another player... and look at the normal case:
A) ball goes from bat, directly to glove, and is caught.
B) ball goes from bat, directly to mask, falls, and is caught.
We treat those differently, don't we --- so why the assumption that the cases are suddenly the same if the person catching the ball is not F2?
