1. This is an "overrunning first base appeal play"...

From: https://www.umpirebible.com/index.php/rules-fielding/proper-appeals

When overrunning first base, if the batter-runner misses the base, he is nevertheless presumed to have touched the base and is technically safe unless the defense appeals before the runner returns to touch the base. In this situation, do not call the runner out when a throw arrives at first base unless an unmistakable appeal is made before the runner returns to the base.

Yeah, it's kind of moot in that sense. Dr. Strange Mar 2021 #6

Right, but I don't see any other way to handle it. Patterson Mar 2021 #7
