Question If A catcher catches a tipped 3rd strike in his equipment is batter out ?
Answer No. A tipped ball that goes directly to the the catcher's glove is considered a foul tip and is treated like any other strike. If the tipped ball does no go directly to the catcher's glove it is considered a foul ball. Catches must be made with the glove or bare hand. A ball lodging in the catchers equipment is not a catch.
