The answer is in rule 8-1-E Effect 3.
Since the ball had not yet past the fielder, the ball is DEAD.

Just a clarification, in the case of a runner being in contact with a base when hit with a fair batted ball, the status of the ball and the effect depend on whether the closest defender is in front of or behind the runner.
Though not likely, a defensive shift of some sort could place a fielder closer to the base than the defender assigned that area.
