Softball Bases are the 4 bases that a Softball player must touch to score a run in a game. All Softball Bases, except for the Home Plate and First Base, are of the same size and shaped like a diamond. The First Base is known as a double base and was designed to minimize player collisions. Half of the First Base is white and the other half is green or orange. The fourth base, known as the Softball Home Plate has 5 sides. All Softball Bases are made of a canvas material and are placed at each corner of the Softball infield square.
Softball Bases have a width and length of 15" (38.1 cm) with a height between 3”-5” (7.62-12.7 cm). For safety, the first base in softball is double the size of other bases with an overall width of 30” (76.2 cm). The distance between softball bases is 60’ (18.29 m ) for a total base path distance of 240’ (73.15 m) with an infield area between bases of 3600 ft² (334.5 m²).
