The play seems to me to be a caught foul ball, by all definitions, even though it is not a foul tip.
Think about it. Batter swings and there's an audible "tick" but no perceptible deflection or slowing of the ball. The ball travels straight back to the catcher's chest protector and bounces off. The catcher then grabs the ball in the air with his bare hand and secures it.
How can this be anything other than merely a foul ball?
