A runner not touching the base and a fielder touches him with a glove and ball is?
The runner is out as long as the fielder you touches has the ball in his glove
Fielder throws his glove at a batted ball but does not touch the ball what's the ruling?
The ball is live and in play. There is no penalty unless the glove touches the batted ball.
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.
Is the runner out if the fielder touches him with his body and not the ball?
No, he must be tagged with the ball, either while still in the glove or with the ball. He can't just be touched with the glove without the ball in it either.
Is the runner out if the fielder has the ball in the glove and touches the base with his hand on a force?
Yes, the runner would be out because of the force play meaning that the runner has to go no matter what.
Is it an out if the defensive player catches the ball then drops his glove but the ball remains in the glove?
No, the glove is considered an extension of the fielder's hand so if the glove comes off the fielder is deemed to have dropped the ball.
What is the penalty for a fielder throwing his glove at a batted or thrown ball?

The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril ". MLB Rule 7.05(e) rules about throwing a glove at a thrown ball: Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance " Two bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a thrown ball.

Player throws his glove at a baseball does not hit ball?
Nothing happens but it reflects poorly on the player throwing the glove. If he does hit the ball with his glove a dead ball is called and the runners advance two bases and the fielder is charged with an error.
What if a fielder catches a ball but loses his glove and the ball stays in the glove?
If the glove or mitt falls off in the process of catching the ball, it is not a legal catch. The fielder must have control of the ball in the glove and then remove it himself.
Can a player throw his glove with the baseball in it?
Yes. In the rare case that a batted ball gets stuck in the webbing of a glove a fielder may throw the glove to another fielder when attempting to put someone out.
On a force play can a fielder touch the base with his glove while holding the ball in his other hand to get the runner out?
Yes, if it is a force out, as long as the fielder has the ball in his possession (glove or free hand) if he touches the bag before the runner with any part of his body then the runner would be called out. Now if this was a play that required a tag, and the ball was in his bare hand and the tag is made with the glove, or visa-versa, then the runner is safe
Is it an out if the glove with the ball touches a base and then pops out of the glove?
This would probably be the judgment of the umpire. If he felt the ball was under control as the fielder touched the base, the runner would be out. If he felt that the ball was not fully under control and hitting the base caused the ball to come out of the glove, the runner would be safe.
