I think the only way that would happen is if the runner was Cool Papa Bell, who was said to be the fastest man ever to play baseball.
Satchel Paige told a story of pitching to Cool Papa Bell, who hit a line drive that came screaming back at Paige and whizzed right past his ear. But, unfortunately for Bell, he was called out when the ball hit him in the butt as he was sliding into second.
