Foul tip

[Tex]

A few years ago, I had a batted ball go sharply and directly to the catcher’s glove and bounce from the glove, go straight up higher than the batters head, and ultimately caught in the catcher’s glove as the ball came down. The catcher moved very little other than turning her glove upright. I ruled a foul tip since all definitions of the foul tip were met.

I was supported the following year at an ASA National Umpire Clinic, that this was the correct call. I had been following this discussion while remembering this play. The way the question is written, I believe “B” is false. A ball can rise above the batters head after contacting the glove and still be a foul tip.
