Up and Over
Last year I recorded my softball games. It's fun reviewing exactly what happened. I have an inexpensive Action Cam (similar to GoPro - it uses all the GoPro-like accessories).
I built a board to hang the camera on the backstop chain-link fence to get a good view of the Batter, Pitcher and the full field. With it set for the 170° Field of View, it captures from line to line, depending on the distance the backstop is from homeplate. If the backstop is close, I might miss the actual lines beyond 1st & 3rd, but usually the bases are visible. It usually captures a bit of the fencing.
Here's the board:
This should give you an idea of how it works.
