I am surprised that no one really answered the question. THE INFRACTION, of moving more that 3 feet out of "baseline" to avoid a tag happens 10 feet from bag.. so it is clearly in the BU area. PU moving to the 45 can clearly see that there is an infraction.. B-R is swerving.. say 5 feet to avoid tag. But BU angle does not allow him to judge this.. he had no tag and a SAFE.
Question was... Does anyone want PU to jump in and make this call immediately? "Runner is OUT for moving out of baseline to avoid a tag!" Perhaps we CAN allow this.. after all.. PU WOULD make an out call for a lane violation.. right?!

Weak grounder to F1, very fast runner booking it to first, soft toss by F1 to F3 results in F3 leaving bag and catching ball about 10 feet towards home, he is right on the line.
Br is a few steps from F3, he then veers well outside of the lane as F3 attempts a swipe tag and misses.
