In response to "This was my question. -- nm" by Mel Profit

according to MLB rules, it looks like he would not be out...

"7.08 Any runner is out when�
(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner�s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely;"

...since he was arguably already in midair when the tag attempt was made.
