How far away is the pitcher from the catcher?

Answer 1

In Major League Baseball, the distance from the pitchers mound to home plate is 60 feet, 6 inches. does that mean from the edge of pitching rubber to the very edge of the home plate or to their center..i.e. 60 feet 6 inches....

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
