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.

What are the rules and consequences of a force play in baseball?
In baseball, a force play occurs when a baserunner is required to advance to the next base because the batter becomes a baserunner. The rules state that the fielder must touch the base with the ball in hand before the baserunner reaches it to record an out. If the fielder fails to do so, the baserunner is safe. The consequences of a force play can result in an out being recorded or the baserunner being safe, depending on whether the fielder successfully completes the play.
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 forced out in baseball and how does it differ from a tag out?
In baseball, a forced out occurs when a baserunner is required to advance to the next base because the batter becomes a baserunner. The fielding team can make a forced out by touching the base before the baserunner reaches it. A tag out, on the other hand, occurs when a fielder tags a baserunner with the ball while the baserunner is not on a base, forcing them out.
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 :)
How does a pitcher use the force out rule in baseball to secure an out during a game?
A pitcher in baseball can use the force out rule by throwing the ball to a fielder at a base where a baserunner must go to because another baserunner is already occupying the previous base. This forces the baserunner to be tagged out before reaching the base, securing an out for the defensive team.
Does a batted ball that hits a baserunner get credit with a hit?

How do you score a fielder's choice in baseball?
A fielder's choice in baseball is scored when a fielder chooses to make a play on a baserunner instead of the batter, resulting in an out. The batter is not credited with a hit, but reaches base safely due to the fielder's decision.
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?
