1st base 60' from home, pitching plate 43' from home, front of circle 35' from home.

Agree.

I have always argued that the pitcher should always get the ball since she is the closest to all bases and active runners.

If the pitcher gets the ball it defeats the purpose of the defense throwing to first base, which is often to draw the offense into trying a delayed steal of home plate.
