Foul tip

[rwest]

A ball that goes directly from the bat to the catchers glove/hand and is legally caught by the catcher is a foul tip. Nothing else has to be considered. Not the direction, not the height of the glove in relation to the ball. That's why A and B are incorrect. A ball that goes from the bat directly to the hand/glove can do so in a rising trajectory and still be a foul tip if the catcher's glove is above the ball when it makes contact with the bat.

C is correct if we are talking FP and SP with stealing. Otherwise it is incorrect.

D is correct if we are talking SP without stealing. Incorrect if we are talking FP or SP with stealing.

E is incorrect in all rulesets that I'm aware of.
