ASA Rule Supplement #44 (PG.130):
RUNNER HIT BY FAIR BATTED BALL
A." While In Contact With The Base
A runner who is hit by a FAIR batted ball while in contact with the base should not be called out unless the act was is intentional. The ball remains live, or becomes immediately dead, depending on the closest defensive player. When the closest defensive player is in front of the base that the runner is in contact with, the ball remains live. However when the closest defensive player is behnd the base, the ball is dead. Should the ball be ruled dead and the batter awarded a base hit, only runners forced to advance because the batter was placed on first base shall advance one base."
B."While Not In Contact With The Base
A runner who is hit by a FAIR batted ball while not in contact with the base should be called out or ruled safe depending on the interference rule."
