Foul Tip
Es: Two Strikes, no one on base. The pitch bounces in front of the plate and the batter swing and tips the ball, wich goes directly into the catcher’s glove:
1. This is a foul tip: the batter is out since the foul tip was caught
2. The ball is live and it is no catch: the batter has became a batter-runner
3. It is a foul ball
A manual say "The correct answer is b. This one will make you think a little bit, won’t it? The bounced pitch means that it cannot, by rule, be caught, even though a “foul tip” has occurred. The fact that the ball went directly from the bat to the catcher’s glove means that the ball is live, however. The batter has struck out and became a batter-runner and must be tagged or thrown out at first. If the catcher had dropped the ball it would have benn a foul ball."
Is correct?
Thanks
