Definition of a Catch in Baseball rules

Sorry for intruding - I'm a FP softball umpire with a baseball rules question from my brother-in-law, the coach.

In softball, we have the voluntary release concept for a batted ball to be considered a catch. Does baseball have the same definition for a catch? Does it vary among codes; LL, MLB, etc.?

Thanks for you help.
