Batting Cages Specs and Checks
Sunday, August 28th, 2011
The starting point of the game’s action begins at home with batting cages , an irregular rubber pentagon 17 inches with two adjacent sides of 8-1/2 inches (21.6 cm) and two sides coincide with the foul lines of 12 inches (30.48 cm) (defined in the rule book as a foot square “filled with two angles.”) 1 on each side of the home are batting boxes. The infield starts at the point of the home in which two 12-inch sides meet at right angles, which is in a corner of a batting cage next ninety feet. The other three corners of the field, in reverse order of the plate, in reverse clockwise are called first base, second base and third base along with batting cages practice. Three runs canvas bags fifteen inches (38 cm) per side mark the three bases. These three pitching machines along with home bases form the four corners of the infield.
