I have to disagree. Forgetting the OP, dealing just with an ordinary "tag"----a fielder has to have control of the ball in the glove for a glove tag to be ruled a legal tag. Now she could be holding the ball barehanded while that hand is in the glove - legal, but outside?-- you got yourself an angry coach.
I'd like to see a rule from you on this.
You said you have an out, "if ball is connected to runner thru mitt or not"...
i.e. what if the fielder has the ball barehand but only touches her other hand/arm which is touching the runner? Does the glove in between make the difference? If not then a fielder holding the ball could tag a runner w/any part of her body--foot maybe?...An extreme example to show your mistake.
