No runners on 2 strikes on the batter and a pitch is swung out and missed, the catcher misses the ball and it rebounds off his chest protector , guards and leg guards then recovers the ball in the glove .
What do we have? |
Strike 3 (caught).
|
All catches, with the sole exception of a foul tip, can be trapped or ricochet off a player and equipment, as long as it is ultimately caught by definition. The exception isn't that it started as a pitch, it is only for a foul tip.

The foul tip can be caught after it hits the catcher's equipment, so long as it hit the glove or hand first. |

Reason for thought is I saw a catcher push a batter out of the way to make a catch so as to avoid possible INT or OBS. He had it happen before and decided to take evasive action because the call didnt go his way. I was just spectating, but I did ask him why he did it after the game. BU called him out for unsportsmanlike conduct, loose/loose, I didnt say a word. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_5_3.gif |
Dakota No No it is as I stated .
A simple situation , no tricks but how many get it wrong ? |

No No it wasnt a foul tip .
This is a simple question . A pen is just a pen |
My response on the foul tip was to the semi-hijack post ;) by AtlUmpSteve.
To your situation, my first response applies - it is merely a caught strike 3. |
My point, in mentioning the foul tip, was that the foul tip definition is an exception, and shouldn't be used to confuse a catch. I didn't mean to even "semi" hijack the post, and was surprised you then steered the response to the exception I stated, rather than the actual response.

Did not hijack... you did! :D
