Awesome info. I have never heard about second base being 7 inches farther back.
It may only seem like 2nd base is further back because you are not facing the batter directly. You are at an angle. 2nd base is a direct 90 degree angle and is measured 90 feet from the middle distance of 1st on the foul line to the middle middle of 2nd. Exactly in line making a 90 degree square.
90 feet is measured from the back of home plate to the back of the first base bag. So if you measured from the back corner of first base to second base the 127’ 3 & 3/8 inches (from home plate to 2nd base) should be at the back edge of the base. But, you will find that the distance puts you right in the middle of second base. I know there are leagues that are considering moving 2nd base up so it’s completely in the 90 foot square but as of right now second base is not completely lined up. I have no idea why and in all honesty it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
