passed ball vs wild pitch

Ever had those moments where you doubt yourself...

When scoring a passed ball...it is a ball that can be caught with reasonable effort by the catcher.

A wild pitch is a pitch that would have an extra ordinary effort to be caught.

Simple rule but for some reason I am doubting myself...

Thanks

Another addition that makes it a little easier to judge...if the pitch hits the ground before it gets to the catcher, it is almost always a wild pitch.
