Foul ball w/ 2 strikes - slow pitch

[CecilOne]

A bit like the coach who recently wanted a runner to be forced at 2nd after she touched and passed it, because the fielder was still on the base holding the ball.

Allowed to drop foul is indeed smart defense.

I recall something about intentionally dropping a foul ball in that situation. Fielder is about to catch it and a teammate yells to let it drop. He can't process the information fast enough - he sort of catches it and drops it like a hot potato. Allow a tag up on that?

Maybe. If he demonstrated control and a voluntary release, it's a catch. Have to be there, but could go either way. I'm leaning towards a drop/foul ball if the fielder is confused and only "accidentally" sort of catches it before the drop.

No.
