Does the baserunner have to go around a defender you softball?
The baserunner must give the defender the chance to field the ball. If they are not the one fielding the ball you can run into them and it's their fault.
In softball when are the fielders able to use a force out?
Hello. A force out can be used when the runner is 'forced' to move to the next base. For example, when there's a baserunner at first and the batter hits the ball, there are force outs at both first (where the batter must go) and second (since the batter is coming to first, it forces the baserunner to second). However, if the ball is caught, the baserunner may stay at first since the batter is out. If the baserunner is not 'forced' to move to the next base, a force out cannot be used. For example, when there's a baserunner at second, first is empty and the batter hits the ball, there is only a force out at first. Since the baserunner on second does not have to yield her base to a runner directly behind her, she must be tagged to make the out if she tries to take third. Even in a situation where a force out will work, a tag is also an out. So IMO if the runner is off base and you can tag her, do it, then look to see if there are other outs that could be made.
How do you properly tag up in baseball?
To properly tag up in baseball, a baserunner must wait until a fly ball is caught by a fielder before attempting to advance to the next base. The baserunner must touch the base they were on before the catch is made, and then can try to advance if they choose. This is a strategic move to avoid being called out for leaving the base too early.
What is a force out?
A force out is a baseball play where a baserunner must advance to the next base because the batter became a baserunner and a following baserunner occupies the base they were on. The fielding team can get the baserunner out by tagging the base before the baserunner reaches it.
How does a pitcher use the force out rule in baseball to secure an out during a game?
A pitcher in baseball can use the force out rule by throwing the ball to a fielder at a base where a baserunner must go to because another baserunner is already occupying the previous base. This forces the baserunner to be tagged out before reaching the base, securing an out for the defensive team.
What is a force out in the NBA?
A force out in "player foul" terms, is when a player pushes the player with the ball out of bounds. In other words, they are "forcing out" the player with the ball. This is illegal in the NBA. Hope this helps :)

What happens when a baserunner is hit by a thrown ball?
When a baserunner is hit by a thrown ball, the ball is in play. The one exception is if the baserunner is called out for interfering with the throw. The most common such is when a baserunner runs in fair territory towards first base, and gets hit by a throw. In that case the runner is out, the ball is dead, and all other runners must return to their previous bases. Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver once said that if when a pitcher fields a bunt he sees the runner running in fair territory, he should throw the ball into that player's back, getting the out and preventing anybody from advancing on the attempted sacrifice. A batter running to first should run in foul territory, otherwise he risks getting called out if he's hit by a throw. Another case of interference is if the baserunner is deemed to have intentionally moved into the throw. In a famous case from the 1978 World Series, Yankee great Reggie Jackson was forced out at second and then was hit by the throw to first. The Dodgers argued that Jackson deliberately swung his hip into the ball. Certainly Jackson made no effort to avoid the throw. However interference was not called, so Jackson successfully broke up the double play. Runners going from first to second on ground balls to first often attempt to run into the path the first baseman would use to throw to second. Chase Utley did this successfully in an April 2008 game against the Mets. First baseman Carlos Delgado's throw hit Utley in the back (Delgado was charged with a throwing error), all runners were safe, and the play ultimately led to the Phillies' victory.
