Live ball?
I ask because the rule book example has the ball go from bat to mitt, up in the air, then caught for a foul tip (never touching any other part of F2's person or equipment)

ASA - Foul tip is a batted ball that goes sharply and
directly from the
bat to the
catcher's glove / mitt or hand and is
legally caught by the catcher.
What you describe is a foul ball, as the ball deflected off the mitt to the shoulder up in the air, etc.
