A feature on the base is that the pitching machines of the first and third base are wholly within the ninety square feet of internal table. They are positioned this way to help referees, and any batted ball hitting those bases must necessarily be in fair territory. Thehome has a peculiar way to help the referee to judge whether pitching machines goes over the home or not, that is, if it passes through the strike zone. The second base bag, which is fully within fair territory , is positioned so that its center coincides exactly with the corner or “point” of the batting cages. Thus, although the “points” of the bases are 90 feet away, the real physical distance between each pair of markers is based close to 88 feet.
