catchable
Able to seize
Catchable describes something that can be caught, whether physically or figuratively.
A catchable ball is one within reach of a fielder or receiver; a catchable fish is one that can legally or practically be taken.
The term appears frequently in sports commentary, where whether a pass was catchable often determines if a penalty applies.
By extension, catchable can describe errors, mistakes, or problems that could have been noticed and corrected before causing harm.
