a batted baseball hits the ground behind home plate and then rolls into fair territory, it's a fair ball. The location of the ball when it first makes contact with the ground determines whether it's fair or foul, not where it ends up. Home plate is considered part of fair territory

Catcher was out of bounds when he touched the ball, ball never went over 1st or 3rd base. That was a foul ball

Foul ball. The ball initially hit the ground behind home plate and was touched by the catcher before it hit the ground in fair territory. Had the ball hit in fair territory before the catcher fielded it, it would have a fair ball.

If it HIT home plate, it's a fair ball. If it hit BEHIND home plate, it would be called foul. Looks like this one hit the plate (empire's body language, pointing).

Did the Batted Ball make contact with the Batters Foot.?

It definitely it the batter so it's foul but if it did not hit the batter and bounced in the batter box and catcher catches it in fair territory , its fair but if caught in foul area it is foul. Not sure where it was caught from this angle it is close. Ump should have ruled foul with so much doubt and esp. since batter never moved and likely tried to show up where it hit and not indent in dirt.

Had to watch it slower make sure catchers foot was not touching foul when he 1st touch the ball. it wasnt. but he first touches the ball a millisecond b4 his foot lands in fair . If his foot already in fair on ground b4 first touching ball this would be fair and out. But is it same if his foot was last in foul , he touches the ball then foot comes down in fair. is it where his foot was last , foul, or where his foot lands, fair, after touching the ball and in mid air. That i dont know not defined in rule. Just says where fielder is when he first touches the ball , but if in midair whether jumping from foul to fair ir fair to foul is not defined so i am not sure. it might be defined in other rules and can be applied here. Any comments
