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.

A force out in baseball happens when a runner is forced to advance to the next base because the batter becomes a base runner.

In baseball, a force play occurs when a baserunner is required to advance to the next base because the batter becomes a baserunner. The rules state that the fielder must touch the base with the ball in hand before the baserunner reaches it to record an out. If the fielder fails to do so, the baserunner is safe. The consequences of a force play can result in an out being recorded or the baserunner being safe, depending on whether the fielder successfully completes the play.
To stump someone out in rounders, the fielder must have the ball in their hand and touch the wicket before the batter reaches the crease. The batter typically attempts to run towards the next base after hitting the ball, and if the fielder successfully hits the wicket with the ball while the batter is out of the crease, the batter is out. It's crucial for the fielder to act quickly and accurately to execute this play effectively.
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. The runner must also be tagged out if they are not on a base when a fielder touches the base with the ball in their possession.
If the batter puts the ball in play, and reaches base without an error being made by the defense, nor is it ruled a fielder's choice, the batter gets credit for a hit.
