For someone who didn't do the math, I would accept 45 DEGREES as a pretty good estimate. It is reasonable given the dimesions of the playing field. If someone does the math, the angle between 1B, pitcher's plate and the 45 FOOT mark along the 1B line is a little more than 46 degrees. Because most math people also round this off to 45 degrees, it is also very acceptable.
Your best post ever! 45 degrees is close enough.

Square table Man Law: 45 degrees is close enough.
