Hvor langt er det fra pitcher's mound til home plate?
60,5 fod

Mange kilder antyder, at kastedistancen udviklede sig fra 45 til 50 til 60,5 fod. De to første var dog "release point" og den tredje er "pushoff point", så forøgelsen i 1893 var ikke helt så dramatisk, som det ofte antydes; det vil sige, at regelændringen i 1893 kun tilføjede 5 fod til release pointet, ikke 10,5 fod (3,2 m).

Many sources suggest that the pitching distance evolved from 45 to 50 to 60.5 feet. However, the first two were the "release point" and the third is the "pushoff point", so the 1893 increase was not quite as dramatic as is often implied; that is, the 1893 rule change added only 5 feet to the release point, not 10.5 feet (3.2 m).
