A baseball field, also known as a diamond, is a specially designed area for playing the sport of baseball. It features a grass infield and a dirt pitcher's mound at its center. The field is shaped like a diamond, with four bases: first base, second base, third base, and home plate. The distance between bases is 90 feet in professional leagues. The outfield is the grassy area beyond the infield, where players catch fly balls and field grounders. The dimensions of the outfield can vary, but it typically extends 300 to 400 feet from home plate to the outfield fences. Each field is unique, with different layouts and characteristics.
