size of field

Question
how far is the pitching mound to home plate  

Answer
Hello Jeff,

Well, with a playing field that uses 90 foot bases, the pitchers mound (with Major League Regulations) is 60 feet, 6 inches. A little historical fact: When the first teams were drafting rules, the mound was 60 feet even(and was written as 60'0. However, the player preparing the field read it as 60'6, and the distance has stayed the same ever since. If you are asking about Little League, the mound, with a 60 foot base setup is 45 feet.

Please remember that different orginazations have different variations of the pitching distance. Please check with your local league administration.

Hope this has helped you,

-Martin
