Even without force an attempt to put out another runner has to be made?


THe rule formthe MLB is:
FIELDER’S CHOICE is the act of a fielder who handles a fair
grounder and, instead of throwing to first base to put out the batter-runner,
throws to another base in an attempt to put out a preceding runner.
The term is also used by scorers (a) to account for the advance of the batter-runner
who takes one or more extra bases when the fielder who handles
his safe hit attempts to put out a preceding runner; (b) to account for
the advance of a runner (other than by stolen base or error) while a
fielder is attempting to put out another runner; and (c) to account for the
advance of a runner made solely because of the defensive team’s indifference
(undefended steal).
