Let me just add this. This is a one base award as long as there was sufficient momentum on the pitch itself for the ball to travel into DBT. If the umpire judges that the deflection by the catcher added additional impetus to cause the ball to go out of play when it otherwise wouldn't have, then it's a two base award from TOP.
