A swinginging strike three and the ball getting past the catcher which allows the batter to run to first base providing its empty. Why?A swing and a miss should be an out! Thanks anyone.

Also, if there are 2 outs, first base can be occupied and the runner can run to first base. It counts as a strike out and a passed ball or wild pitch.
That is the rule and that is the way it is. That is the explanation.

Because the put out is not complete until the catcher catches the ball.
