The basics of bicycle sizing is that when you straddle the frame(Not the saddle!) you should have some clearance between the top tube and your crotch. When you're in the saddle, with the ball of your foot on the pedal, then you should have a small amount of bend in your knee with the pedal in its lowest position.

Then there are the niceties like crank arm length, and reach between saddle and bar, etc etc. Run a netsearch on "bicycle sizing" and you'll find some more detailed pointers.

Keep in mind that if you're looking at bikes which generally aren't ridden seated, like BMXes and DH MTBs, these fitting basics don't work particlularly well any more.

If a batted ball hits the ground before both (1) leaving the infield and (2) a fielder has a chance of catching it, that is (generally) considered a ground ball. If it leaves the infield without touching the ground or a fielder has a chance of catching it, that is considered a fly ball.

Is a runner out if the first baseman has his hand on the ball while the ball is still no the ground but does not lift the ball off the ground?

Yes. They would be out. Think of it like this. If a runner is running home from third and the catcher slides onto the plate with the ball, the runner is still out, even though the catcher is on the ground. As long as the Defensive player has possession of the ball, and is touching the base, the offensive player would be considered out.
