remember the base runner is out for interfering with the play by an infielder on a batted ball, not for being hit by the ball. So standing on the base does not excuse his interfering with the shortstop fielding the ball and making a play of the BR.
Dont think of being hit by a batted ball as being similar to being tagged out by a fielder in which case being on the base would protect the runner from being called out, it is interference. So the question is has the ball passed an infielder other than the pitcher, and if the ball has passed an infielder, is there another infielder who in the umpires judgement has a play 8-4-2-k.
