In order for this call to be made, the ball must be caught first. It must be held securely in either the glove or hand, and its release must be voluntary. I don't know how the rule can be any clearer.
The question most people don't get is, how can anything be dropped if it wasn't held to begin?

Of course, you are going to have some idiotic baseball reference that has absolutely no bearing on softball
