Best Answer

No. It is a two base infraction.

----------

The above answer is not completely true. The catcher can block the ball with his mask, but if the ball becomes lodged in his mask (or any other part of his equipment), then the ball is dead, and bases are awarded.

In girls fastpitch softball can the catcher catch the ball in her helmet?

I Do not remember but I think that as long as she catches the ball it doesn't say how she has to do it. As far as I know she can do it with anything. I have seen it where it was do with the face mask and the girl was called out so at that time it was OK with a mask so I don't see a difference between the two from what I gather you are asking if she has to use the glove and I do not think the Rules say she has to use the glove as far as that gos never seen where it says anyone has to use a glove for anything and I do know in the infield or out field you can catch the ball in your hat and its still an out. Hope that helps a little

When you are catching when you catch a fly ball do you drop the mask immediatley?

Depends. Most catchers who wear a hockey style mask do not remove it to catch a pop-up. If you use an old-school mask, you wait to throw the mask until you have an idea as to the direction the pop-up is heading. You don't throw the mask right away since you do not want to end up tripping on the mask if you have to backtrack.
