Runner Hit by Batted Ball...

while standing on the base. What's the ruling? Does force/non-force factor in?

As long as it is not an infield fly, it has not been touched by a fielder, it has not passed a fielder other than the pitcher, or it has passed through or by a fielder, but a second fielder has a play on the ball in the umpire's judgment, out. Base does not protect the runner, and force/non-force does not matter. Rule reference 8-4-2(k).

Excellent answer cyclone. In general the base does not protect you except in an IFF situation. The other exceptions Clclone listed would be true whether he was on the base or standing beside it.
