No.He is not out if the batted ball hits him on any parts of his body.He has to be off the bag to be out.

Actually the base is NOT a sanctuary EXCEPT for an infield fly. If a base runner standing on a base is hit by any other fair ball AND he would otherwise be out, he is still out.

NO. For the player to be out he would have to have stepped off the bag and then would be in the field of play and therefore interferred with the ball.
