That is because he has not reached first base yet. He is awarded first base and second base in that situation. If he has already passed first base, he is awarded second + third.

sure he has in some cases. if he beats the throw he has reached first. then the throw goes into the stands. he's still only awarded second.
I'm pretty sure that technically it's based on where the runners are when the pitch is thrown....if the throw resulting in the ball becoming dead is the first play by an infielder (i.e. not on the relay throw on a double play).

From MLB rule book:
quote:

APPROVED RULING: If all runners, including the batter-runner, have advanced at least one base when an infielder makes a wild throw on the first play after the pitch, the award shall be governed by the position of the runners when the wild throw was made.
