What is the call on the batter on a fly ball?
If there are runners on 1st and 3rd or bases loaded with less than two outs and the fly ball is in the infield, the umpire calls "Infield fly, the batter is out." In this case, the batter is out whether the ball is caught or dropped and all runners may return to their bases with no risk. If a runner wants to advance a base, they may do so at their won risk.If a batter hits a fly ball to the infield without the condition stated above, then it is like a normal fly ball, if it is caught it's and out. If it is not caught it is a safe ball and the defensive player must try to make the play at the base. These same rules for a fly-ball hit into the outfield.

How is a sacrifice fly different from a sacrifice bunt?

If you catch a fly ball but the runer is on base is he out?
If you are saying the batter makes it to the base before the ball is actually caught, it doesn't matter, the batter is still out. Any runner who was on base when the ball was hit must be on the base they started at and then when the ball is caught, may advance at their own risk. If they do not 'tag up' on their original base they may be put out by throwing to that base and the fielder with the ball touching it before they return.
