| False: a foul tip differs from a foul ball. a fould tip is a ball nicks the bat and goes sharply and directly into the catcher's glove and is caught. The ball remains "live" and runners can advance at their own risk. And a "strike" is recorded on the batter.

| The term Foul tip is often used incorrectly to denote any pitched ball that is hit sharply off the batter’s bat in foul territory. The definition of a foul tip is a ball that is hit and goes “sharp and direct” from the bat to the catcher’s glove or hand(s)and is caught in flight. There are some intricacies that I will not go into here, but a true foul tip remains alive and runners are free to advance at their own risk. If the foul tip is strike
three, the batter is out and the ball remains alive. See ASA Rule 1 Definitions - Foul Tip
and Rule 7-4-E.

| On a "true foul tip," the ball always remains live. And if it's on the third strike, it's an out.
