I think so. Had one this year with a runner stealing. Defensive coach heard the "tink." He started to yell something about it being foul, when he saw my partner make a foul tip signal. In one nice move the signal says, "Yes. It was off the bat. Yes. It was sharp and direct to F2's glove. Yes. It was legally caught."

And most importantly, "yes, it is a live ball."
