A regulation baseball game requires two teams of nine players each. The defensive team occupies a clearly delineated area on the field called the diamond. The infield is the area of the diamond enclosed by four bases, which are rectangles marked out in white chalk or lime powder. Bases are 90 feet apart, and each base path is whitened with chalk or lime as well. The pitcher’s mound, where the pitcher stands to deliver pitches, is 60 feet 6 inches from home plate.
The batter stands in a small circle (the batter’s box) marked out near home plate. In front of the batter is another white rectangle, called the strike zone. The catcher squats behind home plate, slightly to one side. When the pitch is delivered, he catches it in a mitt that covers his left hand and most of his right hand as well.
The rest of the team is spread out across the diamond according to their positions: first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder.
