Stealing a Base on a Foul Tip

Question?

Art Carlson from Aberdeen, NJ asks:

A batter foul tips the ball with less than 2 strikes into the catcher's glove. Can a runner steal a base since catcher caught the pitch?

Yes! A foul tip is still a live ball (unlike a foul ball) so the runners can advance!
