There is no set distance from home plate to the shortstop, because the shortstop doesn't have to stand in any specific spot. He can move forward for a bunt, shift left or right, or even position himself near the outfield depending on who is at bat.

There is no distance from the batter's box to home plate. The batter's box is adjacent to the 8 1/2 inch side of home plate. They are 4 feet wide and 6 feet long for Major League Baseball.

It varies from field to field. Ideally, the backstop is suggested to make a circle with the radius from HP to the backstop the distance to the rubber - 60 feet. All parks are different.

The distance from home base to shortstop is 100.62 feet if shortstop is standing directly between second and third base.

This varies from field to field. By rule, there is no standard.
