Question
What is the distance from the back point of home plate to the middle of 2nd base when the bases are set at 65' distances

Answer
Hi Charlie,
Thank you for your question! Let me be the first to admit that I couldn't have solved this geometry problem on my own. Fortunately, I found the answer in ASA's Rule 2, Section 3:

60' bases: 84 feet, 10 1/4 inches
65' bases: 91 feet, 11 inches
