Home run if he caught the ball. if no one on base so there is nothing else to rule on.

Carry implies intentional, which should be two bases, if memory serves, if there were runners. Falling into DBT after a catch is one base, if memory serves.

Why do you say that? I have it as a catch.

Not as it's usually used in "catch-and-carry" discussions in baseball

Not necessarily. The "catch and carry" rule is typically applied on fields where there is no fence, and a fielder's momentum after catching a fly ball causes him to cross the line marking dead ball territory. Most books that describe when a runner purposely takes the ball into DBT to prevent runners from advancing will specifically use the word "intentional".
