A safety base is used for what its name implies. To give more safety to the players, a safety base is located in foul territory. The batter must run through this base, leaving the other base for the defensive fielder to make a play on the ball. Usually the bases that the batter has to run through is orange and the base that the fielders use is white. At all other times in the games, besides the initial run to first base, the runner must keep in contact with the white base to remain safe.
