Baseball usually covers about 0.8 hectares is played on a level field. The playing area is composed of two areas, the infield and the outfield which make up fair territory. The rest of the field is named foul territory. The infield is made up of a square-shaped plot called the diamond one corner of which is marked by a five-sided piece of rubber called a home plate. , Depending on the batters’ preference, batter hits the ball from a position on either side of home plate. At the three other corners of the infield—moving counterclockwise from home plate—are first base, second base, and third base. Each base is signed with a canvas bag. A slightly raised piece of ground is the pitcher’s mound, locates near the middle of the infield, between home plate and second base. A strip of rubber is nailed to the top of the mound, 18 meters from home plate. When the pitchers put the ball in play they put one foot on the rubber. Base lines marking the path of a runner extend from first to second to third base as well. The right field lies behind first base, center field lies behind the second base, and left field lie behind the third base. A fence runs along the farthest limits of the outfield. Two covered shelters called dugouts are located in foul territory along each base line. When the players are not on the field they occupy the dugouts. Besides, the baseball field is designed with many markings which indicate the function of certain regions. Boxes outlined in chalk on each side of home plate indicate where a batter may stand. Chalk boxes in foul territory near first and third base define the position of team coaches. Amost same regions limit where pitchers could warm up during the game and where players could make preparations before batting.
