You will have to practice sliding to know what this distance is for you. It is different for everyone. I started my slide when i was about 6or 7 feet away form the base.

How far is it from 2nd base to center field? The distance from home plate to 2nd base is 127.28 feet (use pythagorean theorem z^2 = x^2 + y^2 or z = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)), so the distance from 2nd base to the fence in dead center is 277.72 feet.


If the bases are 70 apart the distance from home plate to second base is?

99 feet. You can find the distance between home and second on any baseball or softball field by using the following formula: A squared plus B squared equals C squared. A is the distance between home and first base B is the distance between first base and second base C is the distance between home and second base.


How far away is second base from home plate on a seventy foot diamond?

Baseball infields are supposed to be square. Therefore, an infield would be 90x90 for Major League Baseball, maybe 40x40 for third graders, and maybe 60x60 for eighth graders. The numbers refer to the distance between bases. In any case, the formula for calculating the distance from home plate to 2nd base is A Squared + B Squared = C Squared, where A is the distance from home plate to 1st base, B is the distance from 1st base to 2nd base, and C is the distance from home plate to 2nd base. This sounds like your league has an infield of 50x50. Using the formula above, the distance from home plate to 2nd base would be 70.71 feet, which comes out to 70 feet and 8.5 inches. Your league probably just defines it as 70 feet for simplicity in measuring, thus resulting in the term 50x70.

How far is the pitching rubber to second base?

The distance from Home Plate to 2nd base is 127+ feet. This is calculated using Pythagorean Theorem (90x90=8100, x2 = 16200, sq. rt. = 127.279 feet) The distance from Home Plate to pitcher's mound is 60 feet, 6 inches, thus the distance from pitcher's mound to 2nd base is 127.3-60.5 feet or roughly 67 feet.
