I was watching the Mets/Sox the other day and with 2 strikes on him Brett Baty foul tipped a ball that hit Boston’s catcher (Carlos Narvaez) off his glove, his shin and settled in the crook of his arm. The ump called strike 3 and both team announcers (Ron Darling/Gary Cohen and Lou Merloni/Dave O’Brien) said that it is a strike out because the ball never hit the ground. I was under the impression that a foul-tipped 3rd strike had to be caught CLEANY by the catcher (can’t hit any part of his body or uniform) for it to be strike 3. Am I right and the 4 announcers don’t know the rule or even raised it as a possibility? Thanks
