A baseball infield is the square area within the four 90-foot baselines (60-foot baselines in Little League Baseball for youths 12 years old and under). The four bases are integral parts of the infield; a ball that touches any part of a base is considered a fair ball.
The infield of a baseball field is where the diamond, bases, home plate, pitcher’s mound and the beginning of the foul lines are located. This is where the pitcher will throw the ball towards the batter, who will look to hit the ball and run around the 4 bases located around the diamond.
The infield must be a square that is 90 feet on each side, and the outfield is the area between the two foul lines formed by extending two sides of said square (though the dirt portion of the field that runs well past the 90-foot basepaths in all Major League parks is also commonly referred to as the infield).
