From the given info, it is NOT POSSIBLE to find the area of the official ball diamond, if a reader (as me)
is not familiar with the subject.
Therefore, the problem, to be accurately posed for general public, MUST contain all necessary input.

It is 90ft between bases (home to 1st, 1st to 2nd, etc.) so
the area is just one of these sides squared:
The precise length from home plate to 2nd base is 90ft* or approximately 127ft 3in

Not sure where the 120ft came from, unless you are talking about an "unofficial" baseball diamond.
For a square with diagonal measure 120ft, the side length is 120/ = 84.853ft and the area of such square is 7200
