If the ball has not passed or touched the fielder, the runner is out when hit by the ball. The only protection for him is if he is touching his base and is hit with an infield fly. If the ball has passed the fielder, and no other play can be made by another fielder, then the runner is not out, and the ball remains alive.
Just because the ball was untouched, if it hasn't gone past the fielder, the fielder still has the right to field the ball without any interference from the runner.
