How many feet from home plate to first base in MLB?
The distances between the plates are 90 feet. The distance between home plate and first base is 90 feet. First base to second base is 90 feet. Second base to third base is 90 feet. Third base to home plate is also 90 feet. Additionally, the distance between first and third base straight across is 127 feet.
What is the distance between home plate and third-base in Little League baseball?

Why is baseball's playing area called a diamond?
If you drew a line from home plate to first base, first base to second base, second base to third base, and third base to home plate, you would have a square. This is because the distance between those bases is the same (90 feet). A square turned on its side is a diamond.
How many feet farther do you need to run for a triple than a single in baseball?
The bases are 90 feet apart. From home plate to first base is 90 feet. From home plate to second base is 180 feet. From home plate to third base is 270 feet. From home plate around the bases and back to home plate is 360 feet. (That's farther than from goal line to goal line in football.) From first base to third base is 180 feet.

How many geometry terms are used in baseball?
Home plate is a pentagon. The bases are called diamonds which is a square but from home plate it is a square on its side. The ball needs to be hit in the arc formed between first and third 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.
How far is it from home plate to second base in feet and rounded to the nearest foot?
It's 127 feet, 3 3/8 inches from home plate to second base (the same distance from first base to third base).
What is the distance between second and home?
The distance of 90 feet (between home and first) is the distance of the middle of the plate and the middle of first base.
Runner at third base goes home and touches home plate on a fair batted ball After touching the plate he hears someone say it was foul so he retreats to 3bA runner made it to third on the batted ball?
As soon as the runner touches home plate, the run scores. The following runner has the right to third base. Either the base coach or the following runner on third base should tell the runner who scored that it was not a foul ball and he should go to the dugout. The ball is still live.
