Also, I've noticed that the calculations for distances of LF, LC, RC, and RF seem to be rather inconsistent.

I've come up with a method for accurately measuring distances to fence posts/wall locations and I get the LL, C, and RL distances by simply going down the left field line, straight from home plate to the center field wall post, and going down the right field line, respectively, but I cannot find a consistent angle that the other distances are measured at. The best I can come up with so far is that they use the angles: 30.85, 12.93, 13.18, and 29.96 degrees. But those are very peculiar angles to choose and are not symmetrical between left and right field as I would expect those calculations to be. My next guess would be some sort of weighted sum of fence post distances, but that would mean the best I can do is guess-and-check to find a symmetrical rule.

Any chance a dev would be willing to spill the secret sauce of how those distances to LF, LC, RC, and RF are being calculated in the construction kit so I can accurately label fence distances for an imported park?
