I brought this up on my Facebook page yesterday. 

 

My partner has the dish..   2 strikes 2 outs on the batter

Pitched ball comes off the bat directly to catchers glove but bounces off the glove to catchers chest. Then secured. Never touches the ground..
what’s your call?

My partner wasn't sure what to call. So I fixed it for hi,..

What's your call and is there a rule or casebook play that supports your call..

Foul tip, strike three.

2-16-2 ART. 2 . . . A foul tip is a batted ball that goes directly to the catcher's hands and is legally caught by the catcher. It is a strike and the ball is in play.

2.16.2 SITUATION A: B2 swings and tips the ball and a) the ball goes directly to the catcher's glove and
then rebounds to the catcher's chest protector, then the ball is caught by the catcher; or b) the ball goes
directly to the catcher's chest protector and then is caught by the catcher. RULING: In a), the pitch is a
strike and remains live. In b), this is a foul ball.
