From home plate to first base in standard baseball, the distance is 90 feet.

Quick Scoop

  • In Major League Baseball, the official distance from home plate to first base is 90 feet, measured from the back tip of home plate to the back corner of first base.
  • This 90‑foot spacing is the same between all the bases: home to first, first to second, second to third, and third back to home.
  • In many youth or Little League fields, the distance is shorter, typically 60 feet from home to first base to make the field more manageable for younger players.

Imagine a perfect square “diamond”: each side of that square is 90 feet long in professional baseball, and the home‑to‑first sprint is one full side of that square.

TL;DR: Home plate to first base is 90 feet on a regulation baseball field (and usually 60 feet in Little League–style youth fields).
