Baseball fields from high school on up have the pitcher's rubber located 60 feet 6 inches from home plate. The catcher lines up a couple feet behind the plate, so the pitcher and catcher are about 63 feet apart.

The front of the pitcher's mound to the front of home plate in the Majors should be 60 feet 6 inches.

Batters: Most batters at this level will stand with their back-foot on the back line of the batter's box as much as possible. Some stances (front foot) don't go beyond the front of the plate however most do.

Pitchers: All pitchers start at the mound with their right foot (right handed pitchers) on the front edge of the mound or vice-versa. Pitchers at the end of their stance will (should) go about as far as their are tall. A 6 foot 2 inch pitcher should step out about that far from the mound.

So the distance is only as far as they will be in their stance or end result.

I believe it is around 60 ft, that is what they said on a telecast.

It depends on what age division the team is in. Ohio high school pitchers are 43 feet from the batter
