In FED, as long as the runner was still on the bag, he is not out. Not sure about the majors.

Bad information, Jackie.
The runner is out if hit by a fair batted ball, on base or not, unless the batted ball has been declared an infield fly. Then, and only then is he protected when he is on the base.
See Fed 8-4-2k and Exception.
8.4.2 Situation I, which is cited has the ruling that the batter is out even though he was on a base unless the ball has passed an infielder, just like when he is off the base.
This rule is the same, Fed or OBR.
