While enjoying the sports game, it’s very easy to neglect the size of the field. Fields all across the world are different in terms of their outfield fences, baselines distances, and the pitching rubber. Every field constructed is not the same. The distance of a baseball field makes the sport exciting and perfect for creating suspense on its path. However, the general difference that can be noticed by spectators is the field design and its level of maintenance.
When starting to develop a baseball field, it is important to have a suggestion from all parties that will be working in the field(s) development. When planning, the size of the field may be difficult to determine, measurement must be accurate, and the layout must meet the regulation standards whether it’s a Professional Field or a Little League Field.
For all measurements listed, the starting point is the back of the home plate (the white part, not the black rubber). That’s the pointed part that goes toward the catcher and backstop. Here’s how to measure baselines:
- Home plate to first base — Measure should start from the back white part of the home plate to the back corner of first base.
- First base to second base — Measure should start from the back corner of first base to the exact middle of second base.
- Second base to third base — Measure should start from the exact middle of second base to the back corner of third base.
- Third base to home plate — Measure should start from the back corner of third base to the back of home plate.
If the field will host a tournament or you are planning to host a particular age group for a tournament, you need to know the league standard; It will help you to determine the proper potential field sizes.
Field Sizes and Dimensions
There are different steps to build a field, and the primary consideration is the type of field you intend building which will depend mainly on the budget for the project. Whether Little League Baseball Field Dimensions or High School, College, and Pro Baseball Field Dimensions, when choosing the type of field you plan to construct, you must ensure that the field sizing is properly measured.
- Here are the regulation field Dimensions
Little League Baseball Field Dimensions
- Baseline — 60 feet
- Home plate to second base — 84 feet 10 ¼ inches
- Home plate to front of pitching rubber — 46 feet
- Infield arc radius — 50 feet
- Home plate to backstop — 25 feet
- Foul lines — 200 feet minimum to outfield fence
- Center field fence — 275 feet
High School, College, and Pro Baseball Field Dimensions
- Baseline — 90 feet
- Home plate to second base — 127 feet 3 3/8 inches
- Home plate to front of pitching rubber — 60 feet 6 inches
- Infield arc radius — 95 feet
- Home plate to backstop — 60 feet
- Foul lines — 325 feet minimum to outfield fence
- Center field fence— 400-plus feet
Again the above are the regulation standard dimensions to consider when building the field. It is paramount to get it correctly done. There could be other construction issues such as seating for fans, concession areas, restrooms, etc. You will need the service of a reputable baseball field consultant to help guide you through the process.

Description of Backyard Baseball Windows
Read Full ReviewHome Run Park
Imagine a game where the players play for the love of the game, not the money. A game where multi-million dollar contracts are unknown. A game where everyone gets to play. Imagine a game just like it was with the youthful innocence of a child. This, my friends, is Backyard Baseball. Backyard Baseballtakes you back to when you were a kid, when baseball was a game, and the team was hastily put together among the kids in the neighborhood.
Playing for Real
Humongous Entertainment reached back into the past and captured all those childhood memories of baseball and digitally assembled them into this game. All the details that make the memories real are here - from the kids taunting the pitcher to the child with the asthma inhaler. Do you remember picking teams, taking turns picking from the best players until only the bad players were left? Do you remember picking someone's little brother because his big brother was a good player? It's all here. Nothing was left out.
Players choose from fields such as the sandlot, the urban parking lot, and the rich kid's backyard. Pitchers throw crazy pitches such as the 'Elevator' and the 'Crazy Ball.' Background ambient noises and the taunting by the opposing team add to the rich atmosphere that you can almost smell.
Everything about this game is charming and cute.

Swing and Miss
Gameplay includes all the necessary elements. Pitchers choose the pitch as well as the placement. Hitters swing at the ball and can even see the strike zone. Fielding is accomplished by clicking where you want the ball thrown, and running is as simple as clicking in the direction you want the runner to advance. Everything is here, and everything is easy enough for kids. The pace is a little slow, but not too fast for children. Each batter has a distinct personality - from the boy who hops to the plate to the girl who says 'my game is really tennis, anyway' when she strikes out. I was extremely impressed with all the details of each character.
I have a few complaints about the game. This game doesn't install any files to the hard disk - everything is run from the CD. For some reason, each swing of the bat causes the CD to be read. This makes the animation choppy and the mouse click to hit feels sluggish and unresponsive. While the game is playable with this problem, it makes hitting the ball a little difficult. Instead of getting better the more balls I hit, I never really improved. I think this is because I never was able to time when I hit the mouse button and the player started their swing. That little delay when it read from the CD just ruins the hand/eye coordination.
I tried copying the entire 270MB of CD data to the hard disk to see if that improved performance (note: this is not an option in the install menu, I just copied it by dragging the contents of the CD into a new folder on my hard disk.) It did speed up the game somewhat, but the batting problem didn't improve significantly.
I also encountered one bug: I hit a ball that bounced infield, then over the fence for what should have been a double. The announcer even stated this was a double, but the runner advanced only to first.
Worthy of Praise
This game is terrific and has all the elements of a Gold Medal winner. But I can't do it. The delay in clicking the mouse and the batter swinging the ball just ruins it for me. I still like the game a lot and highly recommend it, but a Gold Medal is for games without such evident flaws. I guess I'm mad because this should have been corrected. Even a little play testing would have shown that this was a problem. Instead, we are left with what could have been a 'Game of the Year,' but instead fails to deliver on one very important game element.
This is still an outstanding game and I recommend it strongly.
