No. If the runner strips the ball from the fielder, he is out.
In Game 6 of the 2006 ALCS, Alex Rodriguez hit a ball between the mound and 1st base. Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo fielded the ball and attempted to tag A-Rod, but he slapped the ball out of his glove. The umpires ruled it interference and he was out. He looked puzzled as if he had no clue that he intentionally slapped the ball away. Whatever, A-Fraud.

If a fielder is in the basepath and the runner either runs into the fielder or is forced around the fielder is it interference on the fielder?
If a baserunner runs into a fielder who is in the base line, and who is not in the act of fielding a ball, the call would be OBSTRUCTION on the fielder. The baserunner would be awarded the base he was running to. The runner that has been obstructed will be awarded at least one base or as many bases that the umpire deems necessary to offset the obstruction. This is a judgment call for the umpire and cannot be protested.
What is a force out in the NBA?
A force out in "player foul" terms, is when a player pushes the player with the ball out of bounds. In other words, they are "forcing out" the player with the ball. This is illegal in the NBA. Hope this helps :)
Does a batted ball that hits a baserunner get credit with a hit?
the baserunner will be out and it will be counted as a hit
If in baseball a player runs over the first basemen to cause him to drop the ball is it ruled a hit or an error?
If the first basemen has full possession of the ball before the collision and the ball comes loose as a result of a collision, it is an out. If the baserunner interferes with (collides with) the first basemen before the first basemen has made a play on the ball or while the first basemen is in the process of making a play on the ball, the runner is considered out for interference. Under no circumstance may a baserunner cause a collision with a fielder that is making a play on or has possession of the ball, unless it is the catcher. A baserunner can only be considered safe if the collision is at home plate with the catcher.
Does the baserunner have to go around a defender you softball?
The baserunner must give the defender the chance to field the ball. If they are not the one fielding the ball you can run into them and it's their fault.
If a second baseman moves a base is the runner safe?
The ump wouldn't call the baserunner out if the fielder kicked the base out from under him, no.
Is a batter credited with a hit if an out isn't made on a fielder's choice?
No. If an out isn't made on a fielder's choice, it's an error for allowing the other baserunner to reach, but it's still FC for the batter. Say there's a runner on first. The batter hits an easily fielded ground ball to the shortstop, who chooses to attempt to put out the baserunner. That's a fielder's choice for the batter, no matter what happens next. If it's an out (6-4), bad throw (E6), second baseman fumbles it or fails to tag the base (E4A6), it's all the same to the batter.
If a baserunner is hit by a batted ball in fair territory who gets credit for the out?
http://www.mlb.com/mlb/downloads/y2008/official_rules/10_the_official_scorer.pdf Section 10.09.c (2) When a runner is called out for being touched by a fair ball (including an Infield Fly), the official scorer shall credit the putout to the fielder nearest the ball
What does A means in baseball fielding?
"A" is the abbreviation for an "Assist", a scoring record of a fielder who throws out a runner, such as a ground ball to short and the batter is thrown out at first, the shortstop is credited with an Assist. Two "Assist" may sometimes be credited, such as when the ball is hit to the outfield, the outfielder may throw to another fielder who then throws the baserunner out. In that case both players involved in throwing out the runner is credited with an "Assist".
What is the difference between a force out and fielder's choice?
It's a judgment call. I think the answer is this: A play is scored as a fielder's choice if, in the official scorer's judgment, the fielder had a clear opportunity to throw the batter/runner out at first, but instead chose to putout another baserunner. So I suppose a batted ball is scored as a force out if the fielder has no realistic chance (in the scorer's eyes) to get the batter/runner out at first and his only choice is to tag another runner or throw to another base.
If a baseball bounces off an outfield wall and is then caught would it be considered an out?
NoNo it is not. It is the same as if it had hit the ground. It's no longer "in flight" once it hits an object other than a fielder. It's only an out if the ball is caught "in flight." Bobbling it, or tipping it to another fielder is OK--it can still be caught for an out.
Does the fielder or runner have the right of way?
on a batted ball the fielder has the right of way if the fielder is in the basepath and the ball isn't near him the runner has the right of way
