Field Dimensions

Besides 90 feet between bases, what other dimensions make up a baseball field?

The other required dimensions in the infield include the distance between the pitching rubber and home plate is 60 feet, 6 inches. The pitching rubber sits on top of a dirt mound 10 and 1/2 inches above the ground.

Baseball is unique, at least among the four major American professional sports, in that beyond the infield diamond, it does not have set dimensions for its playing surface. In fact, none of the 30 Major League Baseball parks have the same outfield and foul territory dimensions.
