The runner is not out......the first baseman had the opportunity to field the ball.....he had his chance without obstruction (I assume) from the runner then he is not out......in any baseball game.....remember this happening in a Cub or Dodger game years back....same thing except the 3rd baseman dove at the ball to his left and missing...the ball hit the runner and he was called out.....Don Zimmer came out and protested the call and the same point I made was pointed out by Zimmer...the call was reversed...........take this to the bank and cash it "he is not out"

If a BATTED ball hits the runner, while the runner is NOT on a base, the runner is out. From that moment, the play is dead. All runners (other than the one that got hit) return to the base they were at.

As long as the first baseman didn't touch the ball the runner is out.

Assuming the runner is on first, yes he is out. Only if the first baseman touches the ball is the runner not out.

yes, the first baseman is playing in against the bunt, the ball gets past him and hits the runner going between first & second-runners out

yes
Any live batted ball that hits a runner in fair territory results in the runner being out and the ball being dead

Is the runner in fair or foul ground? If he is in foul ground, he is safe. If he is in fair ground he is not only one of the slowest runners in baseball, but he is out.
