60 feet, 6 inches

In high school, college, and professional Baseball, from the back corner of the 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.

For 13-16 year olds it's 50 feet 4 inches, and in little league it's 45 feet

For a 10u league it's 35 feet, and for a 12u it's 40 feet

For women's college softball, it's 43 feet, and for men, it's 46 feet.
