I have heard any thrown ball within the arc of the pitcher's plate from foul line to foul line (takes about 2 seconds to travel that distance)is legitimate distance for the catcher to pitch a tent.

You've gotta get fielders with better arms. 60 feet in 2 seconds is about 20 miles per hour.
At 60 mph it would take about .6 seconds
(I hope I did that math right)
