What if a ball hits a baserunner while standing on a base?
Nothing, as long as the runner is touching the base. A runner is out only if touched by a batted ball that is still in play if he is off the base.
Is a base runner out if hit by a batted ball while standing on a base?
No.He is not out if the batted ball hits him on any parts of his body.He has to be off the bag to be out. Actually the base is NOT a sanctuary EXCEPT for an infield fly. If a base runner standing on a base is hit by any other fair ball AND he would otherwise be out, he is still out.
Is a runner considered out in baseball if he gets hit by the ball?
yes unless he is standing on the base It is also interference. Y-THINK-Y These answers assume we are talking about a batted ball (not clear from the question). A runner hit by a ball thrown by a fielder is not out, unless his interference with the throw was intentional. It is NOT interference if the ball first passes a fielder other than the pitcher. EXAMPLE: If the runner were to be running behind the fielder, and the ball went through the fielder's legs and hit the runner, the ball is live and there is no interference. A runner hit by a fair batted ball while standing on the base is out.
What happens to the batter runner and other base runners if a batted ball hits a runner before passing an infielder?

If a baserunner is in foul ground and is hit by a batted ball, the ball is declared foul and all runners return to their previously occupied base, regardless of whether or not the runner that was hit was standing on the base.
If a player is in the line of the runner and the runner runs into the player are they out?
If the fielder is attempting to make a play on a batted ball, and the base runner runs into the fielder, then the runner is out. If there is no play to be made on the ball, and the fielder is standing in the base line and is run into by the base runner, then it is interference on the fielder, and the runner is awarded the next base.
