a small arc is OK

I wish I knew just how much the ball has to be visibly slowed or deflected for it to become a "fly" ball. This has come up on the baseball board, and the consensus seems to be that any perceptible arc or change of direction is enough. A true foul tip should look just like a pitch that is missed except that you can hear the "tick" of the bat hitting the ball.

In baseball, however, minor deflections of varying degrees and directions are not nearly as common as they are in softball.
