Best Answer

In Major League Baseball, the bases are 90' apart. The distance from home plate to the nearest fence is 250' or more.

Baseball fields are not uniform. All major league infields are diamonds 90 feet on a side with the pitcher's mound 60 feet, six inches away from home plate. The fence demarcating the end of the outfield is different in every park, carving an irregular arc roughly 380 to 400 feet away from the plate. Some fences are nearly perfectly rounded arcs. Some are much more irregular with cut outs, straight sections, and drastically closer sections one one side than the other. Moreover the height of the fences differs from park to park such that balls that are home runs in one park bounce off a tall fence in others.

Are you talking about the distance from the plate to the warning track in center field? Every field has different dimensions.

---- update ----

Again, it depends on the field. I can tell you though that the distance from home plate to second base in a straight line is just over 127 1/4 feet (127.2792206). The distance from home to first is 90 feet. Using math, if you know the two short sides of a right triangle, you can figure the third side.

It's the square root of 90 squared plus 90 squared.

90^2 = 8100

8100 + 8100 = 16200

Sqrt(16200) = 127.2792206

There are no specifications in which the size of the baseball field must follow other than minimum requirements. This means that the field must reach this distance as the minimum or go over. The minimum distance for home plate should be no less that 250 feet, whereas the foul poles are to be no less than 320 feet. The center field should be no less that 400 feet.
