If a player contacts a batted ball over fair territory, how can it be a foul ball? ASA 1.Fair Ball.C

I envisioned a play where, B1 swings, ball goes from bat sharply and directly to F2's mitt, bounds up about 8 feet and away from F2 (toward F1), and F2, making a diving leap into fair territory, catches the ball about a foot in front of the plate.

Meets the definition of a foul tip... doesn't it?
