How far is the 1st base line to the 2nd first base line?
every base is 90 feet away from each other
What baseline is the reds dugout in?
The Rogers Centre.
Who goes for ball in bunt p or 1b?
If the bunt goes towards the pitcher or third base line the pitcher. If up the first base line the first baseman and the pitcher covers first
Name the measure that has a double bar line?
There is no particular name for it... its just the measure that you repeat from the starting at the first double bar line (the first double bar is on the left side of the measure, the second on the right.)
When there are No men on base there is a hit to third base and then over thrown to first who backs up first base?
The second baseman and the right fielder will back up to the left and down the line and the catcher will run down the first base line in foul territory to back up to the right.
Every time a batter reaches first base the next batter hits a double Every time a batter hits a double the runner on first scores Jon reaches first base What can you deduce about Jon?
That Jon will score when the next batter hits a double.
Why are there 2 first base lines?
Well, there aren't really. The line to the left is the first base line and the line to the right is the 'out of bounds' line. These two lines form the 'restraining box' and when a runner runs to first base they are supposed to stay within this box. If the runner runs outside of the restraining box they can be ruled out for interference should a thrown ball hit them.
After hitting the Ball is the runner out if he stops to avoid the tag by the first baseman before he gets to first base?
he is not out as long as he stays in the base line
Man at first ground ball first baseman tags first runner does not advance to second stays on first is this a double play?
If the runner remains standing on the bag when the 1st baseman touches the bag and the 1st baseman does not tag the runner prior to touching the bag, then the runner is safe and you have no double play. Answer To clarify, once the Batter becomes a batter-runner, the runner at first loses his right to occupy first base and is forced to advance. If he is tagged while standing on the base, he is out. If the first baseman then steps on first base the Batter-runner is also out -- Double Play. BUT, if the first baseman first steps on the base the batter-runner is out and the force is removed. If the runner standing on first base is now tagged he is safe.
After an infield single and a wild throw can the runner be tagged out for attempting to go to second without crossing the first base line?
No. If the runner doesn't cross the first base/right field line they cannot be considered attempting to go to second base.
How do you figure the distance between first base and third base in a straight line?
This involves a bit of geometry. First of all, a baseball diamond including the four bases, first base, second base, third base and home plate is a square. To find the exact distance in a straight line between first base and third base (or home plate to second base, for that matter), simply use half the diamond by using the right triangle formed by two of the base lines (each of which is 90 feet in a straight line between the bases. That leaves the hypotenuse of your right triangle (a straight line between first base and third base) to be determined. Geometry will give you your answer. Square each of the base lines (multiply each by itself), add them together, and then determine the square root of your total. That amount will be your hypotenuse, or the straight line distance between first base over to third base (the answer is the same from home plate to second base). I'm not going to tell you what the exact answer is, but you will find that it's slightly more than 127 feet.
Why use double first base?
To prevent collisions between runner and fielder
