I would have to say that this would definitely have to be a HTBT situation and a 100% judgement call. In my opionion, if a player has a ball in their bare hand, firmly grasping the ball, that is enough for me to judge 'control' of the ball no matter what the ball may be touching.
One of my more interesting plays I've called had a player running to second on a force with a bang-bang play. The runner overran second and ended up on his back, off the base. The second baseman dropped the catch, but the ball landed right on the player's stomach. The second baseman grabbed the ball and lifted it up to show me control. Safe on the force, out on the tag.
