Foul tip

[Guest James]

Batter foul tips the ball hitting the catcher's mitt. The ball pops up in the air and the catcher catches it. Is it a foul ball out or still a foul tip strike?

As long as the ball hit his glove first, batter is out.

Only if it is strike 3.  This is a foul tip since it went sharp and direct to the mitt and then was secured by the catcher.

I stand corrected.  I just assumed it was a third strike scenario.

Here it is in action. It is one of my favorite plays. (I may be using it for a Good Call Blue Video too????) I have it bookmarked on my computer.

What if it is not caught? Just foul ball?
