The runner must remain on the base until the ball is in the fielders glove. Once the fielder has the ball securely(in the glove and the glove closed), the runner can advance to the next base. The fielder can throw you out at the base.
Actually the runner may leave the base once the ball is touched by a fielder.
No, base runners are only required to tag up on an out by the batter.
The tag defines a horizontal rule.
No the HR tag does not need a close tag.
because without one all the runners on base would be able to score on a high pop up on the infield the tag up rule is a compromise between that situation and not allowing the runners to advance at all after a ball is caught
Yes, you may tag up and advance at your own risk.
I heard that if they are "up the line" you can't slide or avoid the tag there for "railroading' the catcher.
From research there is no rule stating that you can't tag a player with a ball and they will be out. Although... there is a rule stating if you cross your boundary lines you are out. If you can tag a player without crossing the line they should be out.
The runner has to wait for the outfielder to catch the ball, then they can tag up and run to the next base at their own risk.
The horizontal rule tag creates a line across the page. You can use it like this:
Yes, if you tag up properly.
