A baseball field includes four bases if one decides to count home-plate as a base. However, if one's definition of base is different and chooses to include only first, second, and third base because home-plate is not technically a "base" but the goal in order to score a point, a baseball field would include three bases.
The pointed end of a home plate faces the rear, away from the playing field. The home plate itself if in fair territory.
I'm taking a stab, but I'll have to say if the ball is hit into the air, it's least likely to land on home plate.
For Little League (7 - 12 year olds), the distance is 60 feet.
It's 60 feet 6 inches away from home plate. The original baseball field designers wanted it to be 60 feet but when the "landscapers" were reading the diagram drawn up it read 60 ' 0" and they read the 0 to be a 6 by mistake.
