Another way to think about it is if a flyball is hit to a fielder and he purposely doesn't secure the ball in his glove, but keeps batting it back up in the air while running towards the infield. If the fielder had to CATCH the ball before the tag, then the runner couldn't advance. It's first touch, so the runner can tag and attempt to advance at that point.
