Kemp was touching first, and Ethier had already passed first. By one school of thought, Etheir was past Kemp, even though they were not both in the baseline. By another school, the provision that a batter-runner can over-run first base without jeopardy implies that he has not proceeded beyond first base. Unless, of course, Ethier then turned toward second, in which case, his overrunning of the bag constituted an effort to proceed to second, in which case, he was further along than Kemp, who was still touching first.
