"If the pitch touches the ground before reaching the batter, it can no longer be legally caught and therefore cannot be a foul tip; if the batter then swings and nicks that ball with his bat, it would be an ordinary foul ball and not a foul tip, even if held by the catcher."
Is this a stated rule somewhere. Not so sure I agree. What about ball that touches the ground before reaching the batter, and is then hit on a fly to the shortstop and is caught? By the above logic, this would not be an out, which as we all know is false.
