Thanks for your input! Let us know more about what's wrong in the form below.
How long is 1.70 paces?
It's about one-twentieth as long as Baseball base distances
The length of Baseball base distances is about 36 paces.
(MLB Official Baseball Rules specification)
According to MLB Official Baseball Rules, the distance between baseball diamond bases is 36 paces. While second and home base are located upon the corners of the 27.432 sq. m area created by the bases, first and third base are placed within that square, to better allow the umpires to judge whether a ball is fair or foul.
