Had several buddies working on this yesterday during a break in games; we all agreed that NFHS clearly states a foul ball off of the catcher is dead immediately. But none of us could find a specific rule reference in ORB that said the same thing. We agreed to fall back on the definition of a catch, as cited by Tim, even though this clause is only listed under the definition of a caught foul tip - which is not the sitch I had. Just wish ORB would be just as plain as NFHS.
