How far is it from the pitchers mound to home plate in baseball? |
60 feet, 6 inches
In high school, college, and professional baseball, from the back corner of home plate to the front edge of the pitcher's plate (or rubber, if you prefer) is 60 feet 6 inches. The front of home plate, the 17 inch wide line that defines the strike zone, is 17 inches closer to the pitcher, 59 feet and 1 inch from the rubber.
In middle school, it is only 54 feet, and in Little League it is 49 feet.
See the related question for information regarding the distance in softball.
