An average softball field measures 60 feet wide by 100 feet long, which means the outfield is roughly half that size (30 x 50). This translates into yards, which is half the length of an American football field (110 yards).

The baseline of the softball field should have a 60-foot dimension. The home plate should boast a dimension of between 25 and 30 feet from its back tip down to its backstop.

Softball fields also feature a diamond-shaped infield, outfield, and a pitching circle instead of a mound. The dimensions are generally smaller than baseball fields: Youth Fastpitch: 35-40 feet (pitching distance) and 60 feet (base paths) High School and College Fastpitch: 43 feet (pitching distance) and 60 feet (base paths)
