Hi
2nd base would be 127.3 ft from home plate.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem
sqrt(90^2 + 90^2) = 127.3 rounded to the nearest tenth.

How far is it from home plate to where?

First or third base?

Second base?

The pitcher's mound?

The right field wall (if it is this, what ballpark are you in?)

The guy in the funny hat in Section 35, row F?

The on-deck circle?

The nearest Ladies' Room?
