baseball diamond
Batter's box setting
A baseball diamond is the four-sided infield of a baseball field, with bases at each corner forming a square rotated 45 degrees.
The term comes from the diamond shape when viewed from above or behind home plate.
By extension, it refers to the entire playing field: We walked over to the baseball diamond in the park.
