Best Answer

The 3-foot line prevents a batter from interfering with a fielder who is trying to catch a ball, as a batter must stay within that line while running to first. If a batter runs outside the line and bumps a fielder to prevent them from making a catch then it's interference, so the batter must stay inside the line. However, batters usually run outside the 3-foot line if they intend to continue past first base on their hit, but it's only called interference if they truly interfere with a fielder... for example: if the ball was hit to left-field and he runs outside the line, the umpire does nothing, as the player fielding the ball is over a hundred feet away from the line.

How far is second base to third base on baseball field?

2nd and 3rd base are 90 feet apart in a Major League Baseball field. This 90 feet is measured from the center of second base furthest from home plate to the back-left corner of third base. The three bases and home plate are set up on the corners of a square with a 90-foot side. But while home plate, first base, and third base are completely inside the square, the center of second base sits on the other corner of the square.
