In Baseball, a forced out occurs when a baserunner is required to advance to the next base because the batter becomes a baserunner. The fielding team can make a forced out by touching the base before the baserunner reaches it. A tag out, on the other hand, occurs when a fielder tags a baserunner with the ball while the baserunner is not on a base, forcing them out.
