High school, college, and Major League Baseball standard is 60 feet and 6 inches (a mistake in measuring long ago but was left that way).

My son was on the grouds crew for a AAA minor league team, and I saw them build a mound in the indoor batting cages. I was told by the head grouds keeper that the mound is 12 " above home plate with a 1" fer foot drop going from the mound toward home plate. Also, the top area of the mound, a 24" circle is totally flat around the mound, something I never knew before.
It is 60 feet from home to first on a softball field. It is the same distance between all the bases. The pitcher's mound is 43 away in college softball. The depth of the outfield varies from field to field.
