If the player catches the ball, regardless of where he ends up, the batter is out. The key here is that the fielder was in the field of play when he went to make the play. If the fielder jumped the fence and ran up the aisle, then made the play, the hitter would have a homerun.
Hope this helps!

the relatively governing rule is modern-day in Rule 7.04 and seven.05 as follows: A "seize" would be allowed and the ball keeps to be stay if a fielder is able to lean over any fence, rope, or different such ability that define the fringe of the enjoying area---see you later as the two between the fielder's ft proceed to be in the enjoying area while the seize is made. A "seize" would be allowed, however the ball will become ineffective if the fielder falls into the stands (or any DBT exterior the enjoying area) after the legal "seize" has been made. All runners would be allowed to advance one base subject to the backside each and every occupied on the time of the pitch. that's, Rule 7.04(c) would be enforced. notice: If there is any fan interference that reasons a failure via the fielder to seize a fly ball that's located over DBT jointly as the fielder keeps to be in LBT, the play would be governed a "foul" and out of play if it happens in foul territory. If fan interference happens while the ball is over DBT in honest territory (that's, over the outfield fence), then the play would be governed a homerun. No "seize" would be allowed if the fielder enters with one or the two ft any DBT exterior the enjoying container as a manner to purpose the seize. The play would be governed "foul" and out of play (assuming it happens in foul territory. If it happens in honest territory, that's, on the outfield fence, the ball would be governed a homerun). DBT stands for ineffective Ball Territory LBT is stay Ball Territory

Out if the fielder maintains control of the ball.
Brad Komminsk once caught a long fly by Cal Ripken, fell over the fence, and dropped the ball. Home run for Ripken.

In the 70's a white sox center fielder named Ken Berry
caught a ball just as it went over the center field fence and
went over the fence. He made the catch, but it was ruled
a home run.

We've been over this a few times in recent memory. In fact, one such question is in voting.
The batter-runner is out. If there are less than three outs, any runners on base move up one base from where they were at the time of the pitch.

The batter is out, as long as the outfielder maintains possession of the ball.

It is an Out. Same as if you catch the ball in foul territory.

If the guy keeps control of the ball when he lands its a out. If a fan touches the ball before he catches it or he drops it is a homerun.
