I am not interpreting anything. Read the damn definition of "In Flight". What do you mean it is not definied? In flight is right after infield fly, and right before in jeapordy.

That is incorrect. Read the definition of in flight.

I know you didn't say that the ball is caught. But if a ball is not in flight, it can not be caught.

Here is the definition:

"IN FLIGHT describes a batted, thrown, or pitched ball which has not yet touched the ground or some object other than a fielder."
