Morphology
The compound clearly links 'force' (to compel) and 'out' (to be dismissed), so a learner who knows both words can infer it means a kind of 'out' produced by forcing someone off. However, the specific baseball rule and mechanics (fielder touching the base the runner is forced to advance to) are sport-specific and not fully predictable from the constituents alone, so prior exposure is typically required for full understanding.
Etymology
Force out paints a clear picture: someone uses force to push a person out of a job or place. So the phrase means 'to make someone leave a position or place by pressure, authority, or threats'.
