For the direct distance it is about 127.27922061357855439215198517887 feet from home plate to second base. So to the nearest whole foot that would be 127 feet.

Make a diagram. Draw a diagram. Draw a line from home to first. There are two right triangles.
The pythagorean theorem says that the square of the long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides. In this case, the other two sides are equal, 90 ft.
Square a side, double it, and take the square root.

Pythagarian Threorm a^2+b^2=c^2
So 90^2+90^2=16200 and square root of 16200=127.279 So I'll say 127 feet.

If you mean a direct throw from home plate to second base... that should be approx 120'.
If you mean running from 2nd to Home that is 180'

I agree, 180 feet from the batter's perspective. 360 feet and you are back home.
