The runner is safe, in order for the runner to be considered out the fielder would have to have the ball in his glove or hand and tag the runner.
*edit: It depends on where the runner is when he is hit. If the runner is running a direct path to first and is within the 3ft baseline, the runner is safe. If however the runner takes a lane outside the 3ft path, in a deliberate attempt to block the catcher's throwing lane, the runner is out for Interference.

What happens if a hit ball hits the umpire standing behind the pitcher?
The ball is in play like any other batted ball and is considered fair whether or not it ricochets into foul territory after hitting the pitcher.

If a ground ball touches a pitcher and another fielder grabs it and throws the batter out at first base, the pitcher is given an assist on the putout.
