He is out for interfering with a thrown ball while running out of the baseline. The same is true with a runner running to first base. Tom Seaver said that when he saw a runner running to first in fair territory he would throw the ball into his back to get the quick out.

Which softball player is in foul territory?
The catcher is usually in foul territory when the pitch is thrown; although, legally, any player but the pitcher COULD be there.
Is the ball alive or dead when hitting a runner in fair territory?
It depends. Is the ball being thrown or is it hit. If it's hit off the bat and hits a base runner it's a dead ball and the runner is out if the ball has not passed a fielder. If the ball has already passed a fielder then the ball is live and the runner is not out. It is as if it never happened. If it hits the runner when it is thrown it is perceived as if it never hit the runner.
What if the catcher uses his equipment illegally?
Rule 7.05(h) says that if a catcher (or any fielder) deliberately uses his hat or mask to touch a ball in play, the runner shall advance one more base. 7.05(d) says if the catcher (or any fielder) throws his hat or mask to catch or stop a thrown ball, the runner shall advance two bases.
What is official scoring when runner is thrown out trying to advance on passed ball or wild pitch?
It's ruled "caught stealing," and scored 2-6 if the catcher throws to the shortstop, 2-4 if the catcher throws to the second baseman, etc.
If a runner is thrown out attempting a triple is the runner credited with a double?
Yes.
Can a catcher retrieve the ball with his facemask in the MLB?
NO ... This has happened in a Texas rangers game the catcher picked the ball up with his mask and the ump told the runner to take an extra base ... Here is the rule .... Rule 7.05 ..."Each runner, including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out,advance(d) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a thrown ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper position in his person
Is there a rule in the MLB involving collisions at home plate?
Surprisingly, no. Rule 7.06 states that a catcher may not block the plate unless in possession of the ball. Other than that, once the catcher has or is about to get the thrown ball, it's a free-for-all. The catcher can block as much of plate as he wants with any part of his body, and the runner can do just about anything to knock the ball out of the catcher's mitt. Although this has resulted, on several occasions, to injuries (sometimes serious) to the catcher (and sometimes the runner), baseball rule makers have never made any attempt to define what is and isn't permissible in this circumstance. Horrific collisions at the plate are just considered part of the game. Note, for instance, in the video below that the runner VERY intentionally rams his elbow into the catcher's neck, and neither the umpire, manager, or even the catcher think anything of it.
Is it a fielders choice with one out and runner on third and batter grounds out to first with runner on third scoring?
Anytime the batter is put out at 1st base on a batted ball it is not considered a fielders choice, it is simply a put out. Now in your scenario if the catcher would have thrown home and the runner coming from 3rd is out and the batter is safe at 1st, then in that case it would be a fielders choice
If a thrown ball hits a base runner if he safe or out?
safe
Bases loaded runner from third misses home is he out on appeal?
Anytime a runner misses a base and an appeal is made he would be called out if the umpire saw it. Suppose only 1 runner crossed the plate, if the ball was thrown home and the catcher stepped on the plate the umpire would call him out (even if the runner is halfway back to the dugout), if multiple runners cross the plate, then and a ball is thrown home in play, the umpire will only make the "safe/out" call of the last runner to cross, or the play at the plate. In this case you would need to go through an official appeal process (ball to the pitcher on the mound, steps off the mound, throws home, catcher steps on the plate) --- The umpire will know what you are doing and if he saw it the same way, will call the runner that "missed home" out ---- If this would have been the 3rd out, his run and any runners that crossed home after him will not count
What is the idiomatic expression thrown to the dogs?
it's also known as "thrown to the wolves" and it is to be thrown out into hostile territory to fend for yourself.
In baseball if there are two outs and a runner on third and the batter hits a ground ball and is thrown out at first does a run score if the runner got home before the batter was thrown out?
nope, as long as you get the out no runs count.
