The correct answer is 60 feet 6 inches.
The correct answer is 60 feet 6 inches. When a baseball pitcher throws the ball from the mound to the batter, the distance is 60 feet 6 inches.
To find this answer, you can refer to the official rules of baseball. Specifically, rule 1.04 of the Major League Baseball (MLB) rulebook states that the distance from the pitcher's rubber (the mound) to home plate should be 60 feet 6 inches. This distance has been standardized and used in professional baseball games for many years.
