    Well, it's approximate.

    If each base path is 70 ft., the right triangle formed by the pitcher's mound would be very close to a 50-50-70 triangle, since 50^2 + 50^2 = 5000, and 70^ = 4900.

    So therefore pitcher's mound is approximately equidistant from all points of the square formed by the base paths. If half of a diagonal of the square is 50 ft., the full diagonal is 100 ft.
