I don't see the big deal. Most of the fields my son has played at throughout HS, JuCo, and D2 have had 40'-50' from home plate to the backstop. Believe it or not there were some fields he played on in travel ball where it was less than 10' from home plate to the backstop - definitely took away stealing home on a passed ball unless the ball took the right bounce.
