The Pitcher's Mound is a raised area on a baseball field where the pitcher stands to throw the ball to the batter. It is located in the center of the infield, 60 feet 6 inches away from home plate. The mound is typically 10 inches high, allowing pitchers to gain leverage and throw with greater speed and accuracy. The mound is made of dirt and is surrounded by a circular area called the pitcher's circle. This area is crucial for the game, as it affects the pitcher's performance and strategy. The mound's height and distance from home plate are standardized in professional baseball, including leagues like MLB.
