If a batted ball hits a fielder's glove and knocks the glove to the ground but stays in the glove is the batter out if the fielder picks up glove before the ball touches the ground?

For there to be a legal catch, there must be a catch and voluntary release of the ball. Therefore, if the ball knocks the glove off the fielder's hand, he didn't meet either of the criteria for a catch: he didn't catch it, and he didn't release the ball voluntarily.

No fielder can use any part of the uniform to catch a batted ball. In fact, if a a fielder touches a fair batted ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place [Rule 7.05(b)], or if a fielder deliberately throws his glove and touches a fair batted ball [Rule 7.05(c)], the runner is entitled to 3 bases without liability to be put out. And it's two bases if it's a throwen ball.
