There's a definite "change of direction" when the ball meets the glove. I don't know if this could be caused by the catchers mit closing on the ball or not. The ball does rattle around in there, but I don't know if it ever touches the ground after the mit was closed on it.
so really theres 2 chances the ball hit the ground: initially bouncing into the mit from the ground, or being trapped on the ground. or both.
