First Base How far must the catcher through the baseball to get the runner out at second base?

Second Base There are two theories going around… one is that the distance from the catcher to the second base is a rational distance. The other is that it is irrational. Choose one and prove why it is correct.

Third Base The shortstop is standing on the baseline, halfway between second base and third base. How far is the catcher from the shortstop?

Home Base The pitcher’s mound is 60 feet 6 inches from home plate. Use this information to find the distance from the pitcher's mound to each base.
