Diagram of a baseball field
Specifications - Wikipedia
The starting point for much of the action on the field is home plate, which is an irregular white
rubber pentagon 17 inches by 8 1/2 by 12 by 12 by 8 1/2 inches (defined in the rule book as a
one-foot square with "two of the corners filled in"). Adjacent to each of the two parallel 8
1/2-inch sides is a batter's box. The point of home plate where the two 12-inch sides meet at
right angles, is at one corner of a ninety-foot square. The other three corners of the square, in
counterclockwise order from home plate, are called first base, second base, and third base.
Three canvas bags fifteen inches (38 cm) square mark the three bases. These three bags
along with home plate form the four bases at the corners of the infield.

A subtlety about the bases is that first and third base, along with home plate, lie entirely within
the ninety-foot square created by the four bases. They are positioned this way to help the
umpires, as any ball hitting those bases must necessarily be in fair territory. Home plate has
its peculiar shape in order to help the plate umpire judge whether a pitch is over the plate or
not, that is, whether it might be in the strike zone. The second base bag, which is fully within
fair territory, is placed so that its center coincides exactly with the corner or "point" of the
ninety-foot infield square. Thus, although the "points" of the bases are 90 feet apart, the
physical distance between each successive pair of base markers is closer to 88 feet.

The lines from home plate to first and third bases extend to the nearest fence, stand or other
obstruction and are called the foul lines. The portion of the playing field between (and
including) the foul lines is fair territory; the rest is foul territory. The area in the vicinity of the
square formed by the bases is called the infield; fair territory outside the infield is known as
the outfield. Most baseball fields are enclosed with a fence that marks the outer edge of the
outfield. The fence is usually set at a distance ranging from 300 to 410 feet (90 to 125 m) from
home plate. Most professional and college baseball fields have a right and left foul pole.
These poles are at the intersection of the foul lines and the respective ends of the outfield
fence. Another common feature of baseball fields is a warning track, a narrow dirt path that
follows the outer edge of the outfield at the fence that serves to warn outfielders chasing a
long fly ball of their proximity to the wall.
