Answer
Hi again Katleyn,
A baseline is an imaginary direct line between the bases and never has anything to do with anyone being in or out of it.
A basepath is a direct line between the base and a runner's position at the time a defensive player is attempting (or about to) a tag on the runner.
If we have no play we have no basepath and you can never be out (legitimately) for being out of something that doesn't exsist.
If we have a play a runner can go 3' on either side of the basepath.
Have a nice weekend
