Explanation

Given

The distance from home plate to dead center field in Sun Devil Stadium = 402feet

a distance from home plate to first base = 90ft

Distance from first base to dead centre field

home plate to dead center = home plate to first base + base to dead centre field

402 = 90 + x

x = 402 - 90

x = 312

Hence the distance from base to dead centre field is 312feet
