What is a force out in baseball and how does it differ from a tag out?
A force out in baseball happens when a runner is forced to advance to the next base because the batter becomes a base runner. The fielder only needs to touch the base with the ball to get the runner out. A tag out, on the other hand, occurs when a fielder tags a runner with the ball before the runner reaches the base.
What is the process for executing a baseball force out on the field?
To execute a baseball force out, a fielder must touch the base before the runner reaches it. This can happen when a runner is forced to advance to the next base because the batter has hit the ball. The fielder must catch the ball and then touch the base before the runner gets there to record the out.
When tagging up does the runner have to wait for fielder to have possession or first touch?
The fielder has to have the ball in his possession but if he drops it he doesn't have to tag up. Actually, the fielder doe NOT have to have possession of the ball for a base runner to tag up and advance. Once the runner is on the base ("tagging up") he may advance as soon as the fielder touches the ball, whether he has possession or not. In other words, the base runner may advance even if the fielder is bobbling the ball and then catches it, i. e. has possession.
If a runner has to return to a base on a caught flyball is that a force out?

When must a base runner be tagged in softball?
When there isn't a runner behind them forcing them to run. For example, if a runner is on 2nd base but there is no one on 1st base, the runner must be tagged on their way to 3rd in order to get them out. However, if there IS a runner on 1st, the 3rd baseman can simply touch the base because it is a force out.
What are the baseball tag out rules for a runner trying to advance to a base?
In baseball, a runner can be tagged out while trying to advance to a base if the fielder with the ball touches the runner with the ball or glove before the runner reaches the base.

In MLB does the baseman need to touch the base to get the runner out?
If it is a force (i.e. there are people on all the bases behind the runner) play, then yes, the baseman needs to touch the base to get the runner out. If the runner is not required to move to that base, then the baseman must tag the runner to get him out. The baseman does not NEED to touch the base to record the out. The defense may tag the runner OR the bag.
Can you tag the base with your bare hand with the ball in your glove?
The official rules state that a fielder need only hold a ball in his hand and touch a base. If the runner is forced to that base and the fielder touches the base while he is holding the ball, he is out. It does not say he has to step on the base. It just says he has to touch it. The runner, on the other hand, must be tagged with the hand that holds the ball.
It requires a fielder in possession of the ball touch the ball to the base?
