Would this be assuming the runner was more than 3 feet from the foul line in fair territory?
Yes, it would.

The original post didn't specify this.
No, it didn't.

As many posts, it didn't specify much and as we often do, we fill in the blanks. Three feet is not a significant distance and it is, in my mind, at least, much easier to picture a runner who is going to first and avoiding a tag in fair territory as being this far or farther from his baseline than not.

If he was not three feet from is baseline, I'm sure the original poster will let us know.
