To get an accurate 90 degrees from your strings tied to the foul pole, and intersecting at home plate, You can use the 3, 4, 5 rule.

Measure 3' up one line, 4' up the other line.
Now measure across from the 3' mark to the 4' mark.
it should measure 5'.
If not adjust strings in or out till it does measure 5'.
That will be a Rt. angle (90 degrees) which is what you want.
You can stretch your numbers out.
3' (6'), 4' (8'), 5' (10').
Just double the number's.

After moving the string's in or out.
Remeasure your 3', 4' measurement. then do the 5' measurement again.
repeat until all number's match
