home plate
Catcher's crouching spot
Home plate is the five-sided rubber slab at one corner of a baseball diamond where the batter stands and runners must touch to score.
It serves as both the starting point and destination of the base path.
A pitch that crosses home plate in the strike zone is a strike.
The throw beat the runner to home plate.
