Short answer, no.

Long answer, since you used the word "always," the answer is no, but due to your qualifying clause regarding playing the ball, the answer you seek probably requires you to be more specific.

Situation: R1 on 1st, F3 holding runner on. For whatever reason F4 near 2nd base. Batter hits ground ball in huge gap between 1st and 2nd base which contacts R1. F3 or F4 had no chance to get to ball to make play. Is runner out? Thanks

If the ball has not passed F4 or F3 when it hits R1, R1 is out. If not, play on.

If the ball has passed an imaginary line between the two fielders and no other play was possible, the runner is not out.

The "string theory" is still alive?

Used in FED.

At least partially used in NCAA, I think.
