We might also note that it matters where the batted ball struck the runner. If the runner has one foot on the base (which is in fair territory), the other foot in foul territory, and the batted ball strikes him in the leg over foul territory, then the ball is foul. If it strikes him on the other leg and over fair territory, then the ball is dead and the runner is out. The batter would be awarded 1B if this were not the 3rd out.
Fair/foul in this case depends on where the ball is, not where the runner is.
