The foul line. These are the white lines that extend from the back tip of home plate (but not visibly through the batter's boxes) out to the fair/foul pole in the outfield. Since a ball on the line is considered in fair territory, the outer edge of the baseline must lie in fair territory (aka the line y = +/- x)

Description

The foul line. These are the white lines that extend from the back tip of home plate (but not visibly through the batter's boxes) out to the fair/foul pole in the outfield. Since a ball on the line is considered in fair territory, the outer edge of the baseline must lie in fair territory (aka the line y = +/- x)

Usage

baseball_foul_line(
  is_line_1b = FALSE,
  line_distance = 0,
  batters_box_length = 0,
  batters_box_width = 0,
  batters_box_y_adj = 0,
  home_plate_side_to_batters_box = 0,
  foul_line_thickness = 0
)

Arguments

batters_box_width	The width of the batter's box (in the x direction) measured from the outside of the chalk lines
batters_box_y_adj	The shift off of center in the y direction that the batter's box is to be moved to properly align
home_plate_side_to_batters_box	The distance from the outer edge of the batter's box to the inner edge of home plate
