Baseball Field Dimensions

Major League Baseball Field dimensions range in size when it comes to the outfield, however all major league ball parks share the exact same infield measurements.

In this sport, High School and College Baseball Fields share the same infield dimensions as the Major Leagues. That includes the pitchers mound and catchers box areas. Click on the links below to see our 3D diagram/layouts on Professional Baseball Field Dimensions.

Little League and Youth Baseball Fields also have very different measurements when it comes to the outfield fence.
The infield dimensions however are standardized. Click on the links below to see our 3D diagrams on Youth/Little League Baseball Field Dimensions.

Alexander Cartwright set down the first rules of baseball in the middle 1800's. At that time he set very specific measurements for the infield layout. His rules only set forth minimum size of the outfield.

Most professional ball parks were built to the confines that the city offered them. For example in The Major Leagues you have ballparks with very differing outfield sizes:

Boston's Fenway:
310 in Left - 420 in Center - 302 in Right

Detroit's Comerica Park:
345 in Left - 420 in Center - 330 in Right

Chicago's Wrigley Field:
355 in Left - 400 in Center - 353 in Right

Houston's Minute Maid Park:
315 in Left - 435 in Center - 326 in Right

As you can see the outfield dimensions vary with the venue. Each park however maintains the strict standards of 90 feet between the bases, 60' 6" from the Pitchers Mound to Home Plate and 127' 3 3/8" from Home to Second Base!
