Does the baseball have to be in the glove to tag out?

This article explores the rules of baseball regarding tagging out a runner. It explains that a player must have the ball in the glove to tag out the runner, as without the ball in the glove the runner cannot be legally tagged out. In some cases, the ball can be held in the hand or arm and still be used to tag out the runner, as long as the runner does not come into contact with the ball or the fielder's glove. In addition, the fielder can use any part of the body to tag out the runner as long as the ball is held in the glove. The article also discusses the importance of the fielder not releasing the ball while trying to tag out the runner, as this can lead to an illegal tag.
