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

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!
