So the fielder jumped over the fence into DBT, grabs the ground ball and throws it back in.

What say you all?

I say ASA 8-5-K.

I don't have a rule reference but I'll take a shot anyway, he needs to get a foot completely into live ball territory to get out of dead ball territory. It's obviously not a catch and carry, for which I will refer you to the definition for catch.
I think I disagree with the call made though. Two bases from the time of the touch for intentionally carrying a ball into dead ball territory.
