Poorly written question. First, the sentence construction infers that the player standing out of bounds is in the air. Secondly, it's not clear which team is the other team. As I understand this, the rule is that if a player is struck by a ball on any part of the player's body, other than below the player's paddle-hand wrist, the ball is dead and a the rally looser is the player that was struck by the ball.

It shouldn't make any difference whether the player was struck by a ball that has bounced (in bounds), or the ball is in flight. Since a player is not allowed to catch a ball before it lands out of bounds (loss of rally), why would it be any difference if a player was standing out of bounds and interfered with ball flight before the ball contacted the ground out of bounds?
