| + | #REDIRECT [[The Fifth Base]] |
| − | '''Fifth Base''' is a unique rule to Blaseball that places an additional base on the field which players are required to run through before reaching home plate.

| − | ==History==
| |
| − | On the [[Season 7#Election Ballot|Season 7 Election Ballot]], '''Fifth Base''' was offered to the league as a decree. At that time, '''Fifth Base''' was not selected, with the vote going to '''Bless Off''' instead.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the [[Season 9#Election Ballot|Season 9 Election Ballot]], '''Fifth Base Bubble''' was offered to the league as a blessing, promising to protect the subleague of the team that won the blessing. The [[Baltimore Crabs]] won the blessing, protecting [[Wild League#Wild High|Wild High]], but exposing [[Mild League#Mild High|Mild High]], [[Mild League#Mild Low|Mild Low]], and [[Wild League#Wild Low|Wild Low]] to Fifth Base for the duration of [[Season 10]].

| − | When '''Fifth Base''' is active, an extra plate is placed behind third plate, opposite from home plate. [[The Commissioner]] tweeted a diagram of the path players must run to reach home plate<ref>BLASEBALL COMMISSIONER [@blaseball] (12 Oct 2020). [https://twitter.com/blaseball/status/1315695654400745472?s=20 (Tweet)]- via Twitter.</ref>. Players run through first, second, and third plates as normal, then they run away from home plate to the fourth plate, before running back past third to reach home.

| − | The Blaseball simulation appears to account for the extra distance running to the fourth plate, with fourth plate being easier to steal, and home plate being harder to steal.

| − | ==Sixth Base?==
| |
| − | The existence of a Sixth Base has been theorized but only observed in [https://reblase.sibr.dev/game/69e70c3d-4928-4fbe-b345-a638f57b51b3 extremely infrequent and unstable conditions]. It is not known whether a sixth base can remain stable for macroscopic lengths of time.
