MNBlue,

From the OBR definition of Catch:

Quote:
...In establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball and that his release of the ball is voluntary and intentional.
Though the wording is slightly different, the principle is the same in all baseball rule codes.
