empty hand tag

I promise to make this the only baseball question I ask, but I don't want to get into the baseball forum. In MLB, is the fielder required to tag the runner with the hand holding the ball, like softball, or can he hold the ball in his bare hand and tag with the glove. I can't imagine that it's different, but I also can't imagine a MLB umpire missing it 10-15 feet away.
