The research is done by reviewing related literature through two main directions—software and hardware facilities, as well as seven sub-categories in administrative space, service space, watching space, baseball court, other facilities, building and operation model, and management strategies. There are 51 indicators in the making of the Delphi method questionnaire, and the results are separated into five grades. Eleven scholars and experts participated in the Delphi experts group. The main task of the three expert groups was to evaluate and judge the applicability of indicators. After three rounds of responses, there are 78 important indicators in the first grade, 56 indicators in the second grade, 26 indicators in the third grade, 14 indicators in the forth grade, and 11 indicators in the fifth grade. According to the questionnaire results, this paper provides with the following suggestions. First, when categorizing baseball fields, one should refer to the grading system created by this study, which helps to identify the current administrators and clarify rental information. The result should be made available on the Internet for future reference. Second, the government should widely promote the construction of the third, forth, and fifth grade types of baseball fields, so that the general public can enjoy baseball and softball easily as recreational activities. Lastly, this paper attempts to create a baseball field grading system in Taiwan by reviewing related literature and the Delphi method questionnaire by the Delphi group, however, the study is by no means a comprehensive one. Future research and studies can be done to perfect the suggestions made by this paper, which would contribute to the refinement of the baseball field grading system of Taiwan.
