The runner can tag the second the fielder touches the ball, regardless of any bobbling.
This eliminates the fielder being able to intentionally bobble the ball in order to get in a better position to make the throw.

Just saw this answered in the BoSox vs. Indians game the other night. Yes, you can leave the base the second the ball makes contact with the glove or any other part of the fielders body.

As soon as a fly ball is touched by a fielder the player can leave the base he is tagging up from.

definite, additionally if a participant catches the ball and falls into the stand a participant on first base is technically allowed to improve. Its a prior rule noone rather thinks approximately. Its quite comparable to if the ball exchange into thrown out of play.

If it bobbles and is caught, you can go right ahead and run - you don't need to wait until the guy makes a clean catch. If it's bobbled and dropped, run like hell.

Yes, as soon as the ball hits the glove which is considered an extension of one's hand then one can tag.

Yes, the runner may begin his attempt to advance at first contact.

if he does not drop the ball then he has to wait to tag up
