Record 1 2016-05-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Baseball and Softball
DEF

The area of a baseball or softball field enclosed in a square with a base at each corner.

OBS

The term "diamond" is used as a descriptive of the playing surface while "infield" is more appropriate when the ball is in play. It is called "diamond" because of its shape, the distance from home to second base being greater than either home to first, home to third, or first to third.

PHR

infield at double-play depth

PHR

shallow infield

French

Domaine(s)
  • Baseball et softball
DEF

Au baseball et au softball, l'espace compris à l'intérieur des quatre buts.

CONT

[Le] terrain est divisé en trois zones : [...] le petit champ, ou intrachamp, ou «diamant», qui constitue le véritable terrain de jeu. Carré de 27,43 mètres de côté qui compte à l'un de ses coins la plaque de but, les trois autres angles étant occupés par les bases.

OBS

Le terme «losange» décrit la surface du terrain alors que «avant-champ» se rattachent aux aires du terrain lorsque la balle est en jeu pour distinguer du «champ extérieur» ou «arrière-champ». En Europe, «diamant» est couramment utilisé bien qu'on devrait le proscrire; au Canada français, il est un anglicisme rarement usité.

PHR

champ intérieur en formation de double jeu, champ intérieur en position de double jeu

Spanish
