Why someone would say 200 feet is beyond me-- little league fields are bigger than that. College fields are roughly the same as big league fields-- roughly 400 feet to center, 325 feet to the edges.

Yes there is a regulation size for Major League Baseball fields, in the case of the infield, it needs to be a 90 foot square. The outfield does not have any regulation size between the 2 foul poles, their regulation size is only in the case of its distance to home plate so the distance between home plate and the Outfield fence must be at least 250 feet however along the foul lines the distance between the plate and the outfield fencce must be at least 320 feet and the distance must be at least 400 feet between the plate and the fence in Center Field.

The length of a standard baseball field is approximately 90-95 meters (300-330 feet) from home plate to the outfield fence.
there is no definite size because the distance from the outfield fence to home plate and the size of the backstop varies. For instance centerfield at Polo Grounds was 500 feet away where at Fenway Park it is less than 400 feet away.
Baseball rules do not specify the distance to the outfield fence, so fields vary in size. Little league fields usually measure around 200 feet to the fences, meaning the field would cover just under an acre.
An outfielder just cannot be jumping up against the wall/fence, I mean up onto the wall/fence.
The warning track is commonly used in baseball to describe the area nearest the fence to give players warning of the fence that is approaching. It is usually opposite the area before it ex. the outfield is grass meaning the warning track is dirt/gravel etc.
draw a line from home plate accross second base to the fence. divide the line from second base to the fence in half.
