Foul Tip

[canadaump6]

If it hits the hand or glove first, doesn't hit the ground, and is eventually gotten under control by the catcher, it's a foul tip.

actually if the ball goes directly from bat to glove, doesn't hit the ground and is eventually gotten under control by any defensive player, it's a foul tip.

3apples,

While your statement is correct for a game played under FED rules, it is incorrect for a game played under OBR rules.

1) What is the rule on a 3rd strike foul tip if the ball gets lodged in the catchers armpit without hitting his glove first.

Not a foul tip. Foul Ball.

2) What if the ball hits his glove then bounces off his mask and then is caught?
Not a foul tip: Third Strike Caught.

Is the hitter still out? Yes. Not entitled to try for 1st.
