I was in the conversation with Bretman on the other board. Here is a direct quote from Bretman which I felt was incorrect:

"There never was any requirement that a batted ball go to any specified height before it was caught for an out. That is, the ball NEVER had to go over the batter's head to be caught for an out (ie: to be a fly ball caught over foul territory)!"

Prior to the rule change in 2006 the all HAD to be above the batter's head in order for it to be an out of caught by the catcher.

Please enlighten me if I'm incorrect.

Also, in your "situations" posted...anytime the ball goes "sharply and directly" to the catcher's glove or hand it is a foul tip...period.
