The location of the fielder has nothing at all to do with it. The ball is judged fair or foul by its location when it is touched, not by where the fielder was standing when he touched it. Therefore, if the ball is over foul territory when touched by a fielder, and is not caught and held for an out, it is simply a foul ball. In ASA and all other associations that I am affiliated with, this is a dead ball.
