After putting my modelled baseball field in my game enginge and comparing it to fields in other baseball games i own, im noticing a glaring difference in the perspective. If i move the camera to right behind home plate, i notice that i can see first base and 3rd base easily while in every other baseball game i play i cant. Are they distorting the proportions? What do i need to do?

They may be distorting the baseball field (while not a standard term, I've heard of distorting geometry to account for camera perspective as "squinching,") or they may simply be adjusting the camera's view angle. To adjust the latter use CameraZoom.

A couple of things to try:

a) zooming the camera with CameraZoom (EDIT: As jhocking says above)
a) use ScaleEntity on the camera to stretch/shrink the rendered view
