Question

I realize a single image is hard to use for this call, I don't have a video at this time, it happened maybe 5 mins ago in the game.
Situation, 2 out, R3, DK3 - RLI called, no run scores.
the runner ran then entire way in the position (relative to the foul line) he's in near the bag. Thrown ball from F2 hits runner in the back/side. I think it's the correct call, the thought that jumped to the front of my mind, is BR close enough to the bag that his position at this time would allow him to be judged in a legal spot?
The image shows the runner and the ball just before they arrive at the base the second image has a highlight arrow to show the ball's position.
