How to tag an incomplete baseball field

1

I was adding some features to a local park when I found a baseball field without bases. It is essentially a backstop (i.e. a chain link fence) with a field. There were no bases or home plate, but appeared to have some use given the wear. (Perhaps people bring their own bases or something. I tagged it as a field for now, but I thought this may be somewhat misleading. How should I tag something like this?

  1. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:baseball shows baseball:*= in some unclear usage (with some over-namespacing and duplications). Under this syntax, it may be eg baseball:home_plate=no. For context, there are 7 wrongly spaced baseball=home plate instances for its location when it exists.

  2. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/pitch_markings will format it as lines:baseball=no.
