Best Answer

The batter is out, if they hit a ball in the air and a defensive player catches the ball before it touches the ground, in fair or foul territory.

If a defensive player has the ball in control and touches a base before the runner, the runner is out.

If a defensive player has the ball in control and touches the runner with the ball in their hand or glove, the runner is out.
