No. The fielder must catch the ball while on the field for it to be an out. He may reach over the fence to make a catch, and even stand atop a fence to make a catch.

If the player jumps over the wall he cant catch a homerun bound ball because it is already a homerun. So there is no out!!!

as long as he on no account touched the floor with the stands till now the catch this is an out. Rule 6.05(a) remark: A fielder would attain into, yet no longer step into, a dugout to make a catch, and if he holds the ball, the catch would be allowed. A fielder, with a view to make a catch on a undesirable ball nearing a dugout or different out-of-play section (such because of the fact the stands), would desire to have one or the two feet on or over the enjoying floor (at the same time with the lip of the dugout) and neither foot on the floor interior the dugout or in the different out-of-play section. Ball is in play, except the fielder, after making a felony catch, falls right into a dugout or different out-of-play section, wherein case the ball is lifeless.

If he catches the ball in fair territory before going over the wall it is an out. He can fall over the wall after the catch and it is still an out if he maintains control of the ball.

No, because he caught the ball AFTER he and it had left the field of play. Therefore, it is a home run, not an out.

no if the ball takes him over the fence its a homerun. Only foul balls would be outs.

Players aren't allowed in the stands, at least not intentionally, and this would be intentional. I suspect that the ruling in this case would be HR, based on obstruction byt the OFer.
